ASP.NET at Work

Discover how to use ASP.NET to build, deploy, and run 10 distributed Web applications that can target any browser on any device. ASP.NET provides developers with the functionality they need to create enterprise-level Web applications. This book clearly shows them how to use this framework to create the top ten enterprise applications that they will need for their organizations. To build these applications, Smith explains how to combine the functionality of ASP.NET with products and technologies such as VB.NET, C#, ADO.NET, SQL Server 2000, WAP, XML, HTML, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Centered on ten applications, these projects present complete programs that you can adopt and modify for use in your own organization. With special emphasis on those ASP.NET features that you’ll utilize most often, seasoned ASP developer Eric Smith walks you through the following applications: Project 1: Address Book–Build an ASP.NET application connected to a Microsoft SQL Server database. Project 2: Contact Manager–Build reusable business objects to handle the business logic and validation necessary for most applications. Project 3: Calendar Viewer –Use the date-and-time functions included in .NET to handle all sorts of calendar events, both one-time and recurring. Project 4: Web Log Analyzer–Create applications for Web traffic, build a Windows service to gather logs and import them into SQL Server, and build an ASP.NET application to view the analysis. Project 5: ASP.NET Error Manager –Use Event Log objects to collect errors from your ASP.NET applications in a central location and provide information on what occurred and when. Project 6: Online Store–Build the "classic" online store from start to finish. Projects 7—10: Teamwork Network–Build an online collaboration system that includes project tracking, file sharing, and discussion forums.
