webcontrols

[sloan]

Anyone have a good book recommendation for building web controls?

2.0 only please.

...

I need even the basic concepts. Well, like I know what ViewState is, but
the book has to have "This is how and why you use ViewState to persist your
web control".


Thanks

The Bible for building controls is, still, Nikhil Kothari's
"Developing ASP.NET Server Controls and Components"

Yes, it was written before 1.1 and 2.0 came out but, if you want to learn
how to build ASP.NET Server Controls and Components, it can't be beat.

That said, for ASP.NET 2.0, including Ajax, the best of the crop is
"Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Server Control and Component Development":

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471793507/

All imho, of course.
