Building Web Applications with C# and .NET: A Complete Reference

Rating:
Summary: Missing a few very important pieces.
Review: This book does have some very good references of many of the .NET classes, BUT the index is only 3 pages long so good luck finding them! I don't know how a publisher prints a "reference" book without even a passing stab at a index but here it is.
Also who wants to build a web application without data connectivity? Not me.
There are a scant few pages on OleDBConnection and NONE on SqlCconnection! I'm not kidding the word 'SqlCconnection' appears exactly ONCE in this book and forgive me for spoiling the surprise but here it is: "SqlConnection represents a connection to a SQL Server database." That's a quote, and the complete discussion.

Other than that this book is ok, but skipping on the index and SqlConnection in a .NET Web application "complete reference"? That's a mighty big oversight if you ask me.
