<p><a title="Back to the ASP Kitchen" href="Default.asp">ASP Kitchen</a>: Reviews: ASP.NET
Developer's Cookbook</p>
<h2>Book Review: ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672325241/brettbcom" target="_blank"><img
src="images/ASP.NETDevelopersCookbook.jpg" width="109" height="140"
alt="ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook" align="left" border="0"></a>Sam's Publishing, $39.99
(publisher's recommended retail price).</p>
<p>First of all, I must declare a vested interest in this book. The cookbook has been
written by members of the <a href="http://aspalliance.com/">ASPAlliance</a>, including
myself. However, I wrote only two of the recipes (17.10: <em>Reading a File Line-by-Line</em>)
and 17.16 (<em>Extracting a Random Line from a File</em>), and do not receive royalties
based on the number of copies sold.</p>
<p>The book contains around 250 recipes that show how to perform a variety of tasks in
ASP.NET. The recipes are arranged in 23 chapters, ranging from simple ASP.NET concepts
(Chapter 1: <em>Web Form Basics</em>) to intermediate concepts such as caching (Chapter 4:
<em>Caching</em>) and a few advanced concepts (Chapter 23: <em>Threading, Remoting,
Reflection and CodeDOM</em>). The book does not pretend to be a comprehensive guide to
ASP.NET. Although some of the recipes cover the basic concepts of ASP.NET, this book is
designed more as a reference guide rather than a book suitable for learning ASP.NET from
scratch.</p>
<p>One obvious drawback of the book is that like many other developers I have decided to
do all my ASP.NET development in C#, but the book only shows source code for VB.NET. I'm
not sure what percentage of ASP.NET developers use VB.NET, but everyone I know uses C#.
Fortunately this is not a major issue, because with most of the recipes it is just a
question of being able to know the general solution to a coding problem (e.g. by knowing
which particular class library to use). The <a href="http://aspalliance.com/cookbook/"
target="_blank">book's website</a> usefully contains the C# source code for all of the
recipes.</p>
<font SIZE="2">
<p></font>The scope of the book seems about right. In the last few days I have been
regularly consulting it as I continue to work on the first large scale site I've created
using Visual Studio.NET and C#. I was pleased to see that most of the things I was looking
for were covered in the book. For example how to create a simple log out page for a site
using forms authentication was covered in recipe 8.5 (<em>Creating a Simple Forms
Authentication Logout Page</em>). Uploading a file to the server was covered in recipe
21.11 (<em>Uploading a File Using HTTP</em>). I also found out how to send an email from
an ASP.NET page, as this was described in recipe 21.12 (<em>Sending an Email Message</em>).
Likewise, after reading Chapter 13 (<em>Rendering Data with ASP.NET Web Controls</em>) I
finally managed to get the data sorted and paging properly in DataGrids. I was
particularly glad to see recipe 13.12 (<em>Enabling Bi-Directional Sorting in a DataGrid</em>),
as I am sure that my clients will eventually want to sort data in both directions within a
DataGrid.</p>
<p>I have also found the book useful in finding out how to do things in ASP.NET that I'd
previously made a lot of use of in ASP. In this respect, Chapter 17 (<em>Working with
Files and Folders</em>) has proven to be especially valuable. Since the
Scripting.FileSystemObject component in ASP is not used in the .NET Framework, it has
meant that a lot of my code has had to have been completely rewritten when it comes to
file handling.</p>
<p>Some of the chapters are a little on the light side. For example the Web Services
chapter contains just four recipes. And some areas are neglected. For example, there is
very little mention of regular expressions, which is a shame because I know from my own <a
href="http://aspalliance.com/brettb/">ASPAlliance site</a> that developers are very
interested in technical articles about them.</p>
<p>Some chapters have some very interesting content. For example, Chapter 22, <em>Generating
and Manipulating Images</em>, shows a good insight into the image manipulation
capabilities of the .NET Framework. As someone who has previously used image manipulation
in ASP by making use of the <a href="http://www.serverobjects.com/comp/Aspimage.htm"
target="_blank">ASPImage</a> server component, I'm sure this is something I'll be wanting
to do more of in the near future. And as the ASP.NET sites I develop get increasing
amounts of traffic, I'm sure I'll want to revisit the chapter that describes the caching
facilities in ASP.NET.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://aspalliance.com/cookbook/" target="_blank">book's website</a> is
fairly easy to use. It follows the same structure as the book, so locating the source code
for the appropriate recipe is very straightforward. It is also possible to view working
samples of most recipes. I would liked to have seen the recipe number being a bit more
obviously displayed next to the recipe name though. All recipes on the website contain the
source code in both C# and VB.NET (although the book itself only shows the recipe in the
VB.NET language).</p>
<p>So far I haven't found that many typographical errors in the book, but there are a few.
There are far fewer than the last Sams Publishing book I read though (Teach Yourself
ASP.NET in 21 Days). Curiously, the HTML source code isn't shown in my own recipes within
the book. I'm not sure if this was due to editing for space, or maybe I messed up when
submitting my content! Fortunately it is shown on the book's website.</p>
<p>Overall this is a useful book to have in an ASP.NET developer's library, and it
complements the existing .NET books "<a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672321688/brettbcom" target="_blank">Teach
Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days</a>" and "<a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596004893/brettbcom" target="_blank">Programming
C#</a>" I have in my collection.</p>
