Summary: It's the worstever I read
Review: It's the worstever I read. It's not worth [the price]. 300 pages out of 608 are case studies & appendix. Only two chapters on asp.net web services & .net remoting. No explanation about namespaces.

Summary: Great book on Remoting
Review: No book currently out has as much quality material on .NET Remoting. This book really helped me understand this technology. While some material on Web Services is duplicated, the Remoting material alone makes the book a good buy.

Summary: Poorly written
Review: This book is not organized at all. There are allot of code examples but they are totally useless. Since one can not really run any of the examples because they are not organized into applications and one can't really follow which part does what and which part goes after which. And I have successful 10 years of experience developing web and client service apps. So this book was waste of time and money for me.

Summary: Overpriced slim volume with no downloadable code!
Review: Those who were thinking of purchasing Wrox Press "Web Services using ASP.Net" but delayed waiting for this more C#-oriented volume will be extremely disappointed. Contrary to information from Wrox this is NOT 700 pages long - it's less than 600, with an enormous amount of "basics" padding and the usual errata and bad code that Wrox in their haste to milk the .net cash cow are becoming reknowned for. To add insult to injury there isn't even downloadable code for this title, as there is with every other Wrox title, so you have to manually type in all the example code, which is presented in confusing snippets rather than in its entirety just to make life even more difficult.Given that last month's "Professional Web Services using ASP.Net" from the same publisher covers almost entirely the same ground, is a thicker and more substantial volume, gives all examples in C# and VB.Net and has downloadable code but sells for the same price it is a far better bet. Officially this new volume gives much more information on .Net Remoting than the earlier ASP.Net -oriented volume did, but frankly that "extra" information comes at an extremely high price. I would say the pricing is extortionate!

Summary: Tough subjects but don't give up!
Review: To really understand Web Services and Remoting requires hard work, but if you take the time and don't give up, this book will give you a solid understanding of the subjects, especially Remoting. Not only the basics but also advanced techniques. I've read the book a couple of times, together with Professional ASP.NET Web Services, and written the code examples, so now I'm doing my own projects with both techniques and feeling confident with what I'm doing. But it takes time!

Summary: Multi-Headed Wrox book lacks focus
Review: While this book does cover C# and Web Services in reasonable detail, it does so in a poorly organized manner. For example, descriptions are often repeated in detail across chapters probably due to multiple authors and a lack of total vision.
This book is an example of Wrox's problem with delivering multi-author books that are focused and well executed.
