I'm pretty new to ASP .NET and have been having some issues figuring some things out. I've read quite a number of tutorials, I learn some of the way things work, but not always to my satisfaction, or why things are being done the way they shown in
the tutorial.
What I'm looking for is a good beginner's book. Something that starts from scratch, for someone who has never used ASP .NET. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Standard and would like something focused on C#, although VB .NET is fine, I can translate
the code. By the way, I would put myself as being an intermediate-level user of C#, I know it pretty well, but still have issues now and again.
Most specifically, I'd like something that goes over using SQL Server (not to any great degree, just how to connect to it from C# and maybe a bit on some commands and best practices) and also how to use Forms Authentication. I've run across a lot of
info on using Forms Authentication, but everything I read is different on how it's actually used, I'd like something that explains the how and the why. As far as anything else goes, master pages, themes, general control usage, etc. are topics I'm interested
in as well.
If anything springs to mind, I'd appreciate the suggestions. A well-rounded beginner's book would be just fine, but if there's anything that mostly goes over the specifics I mentioned above, that would be even better.
Thanks,
Bill
