Author: abhishek gupta

Summary
Master the standard ASP.NET server controls for displaying and managing data.

.NET Classes used :

As you design and implement ASP.NET web applications, you will need to fully master the techniques for displaying data to users. This need led Microsoft to develop the many different data presentation controls that ship with ASP.NET. These controls are data-bindable server controls that help you organize data and display it in useful ways. This book covers the most important data presentation controls in ASP.NET (from ASP. NET 1.x to ASP.NET 3.5/Orcas). Packed with plenty of real-life code examples, tips, and notes, it's an excellent resource for readers who want to fully leverage the awesome features these controls provide for displaying and managing complex data in ASP.NET web applications.
