This is an ASP not a .NET BOOK

I own 6 or 7 ASP.Net books. The best is Karl Moore Code Book and a near second is Scott Mitchell Data Web Controls. I read every book cover to cover and test ALL SAMPLES. So $50.00 for a book if I can get a trick or two that works is well worth the price. Well this book looks great and the on line demos work great. Just don't expect to be able to use any of sample code in VS.Net. Now if you want to code .Net in notepad this is you book. If you are using anything other than notepad - pass on this book. None of the 12 samples that I tried to bring into a test project would run. All needed one to two hours of rework just to get going. It is in fact faster to just read the text get the idea and fire up a new blank solution and type EVERYTHING. That is now why I buy books. I do not want to figure it out and retype most of the code...

VERY DISAPOINTED.
