* Web Parts are reusable components that extract data from existing Microsoft or non-Microsoft applications for use in ASP.NET Web pages; they can also be used to build user controls
* Presents developers with an understanding of how Web Parts work and how they can be developed
* Examines how to secure and integrate Web Parts into other Windows systems (SQL Server, Office, ASP.NET, Content Manager)
Professional Web Parts and Custom Controls with ASP.NET 2.0
Custom controls, user controls, and Web Parts can make you more productive in many ways. You can create re-usable components for your WebForms, package a piece of your user interface and re-use it across several Web sites, and create exactly the ASP.NET controls you want. Web Parts, new with ASP.NET 2.0, allow you to create user interfaces with the user's involvement, making you more productive than ever before

XML is buried everywhere in the Microsoft .NET Framework, but effective XML parsing and coding in .NET requires adjustment. This book describes the set of XML core classes in .NET, introduces the .NET XML parsing model and how to program against it, and discusses XML readers and writers and XMLDOM. It examines related technologies such as schemas, transformations, and XPath, and it discusses data issues such as synchronization and serialization, the DiffGram format, and the XML extensions in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. This Microsoft Press title also reveals how to get the best performance from XML with .NET, and it offers in-depth information on interoperability topics such as when to use XML Web services and when to use

This book discusses factors and opinions developers should consider in order to create higher quality designs and applications. The author uses one large-scale business application throughout the book as the basis for all examples to clearly illustrate concepts being discussed.
Coverage also includes:
* a variety of aspects about design in the world of .NET;
* explanations of the business and data access layers of application design;
* solutions for problems such as code structure, solid error trapping, and how to build in debugging support;
* discussion of how to design larger projects with more robust systems and reusable components;
* comparison of component solutions to stored procedure solutions.

If you’ve begun programming using Microsoft’s .NET Framework, you’ve discovered a lot of new and improved functionality. But, more than likely, you’ve also discovered a lot of missing functionality. Indeed, a third of the functions supported by the old Win32 API are not yet supported by .NET. Although you may not at first notice the loss of Win32 API functionality in .NET, the more you program, the more you’ll realize how essential it is. As a programmer, you will not want to do without these solutions.
