ASP.NET Evolution Review by warlodia
Not enough explanations!
I must say that I am not very far into this book, say ch3. But I did fine part of the setup annoying. I don't expect to purchase a techie book and expect to figure out why it won't work the way they say. I have written this post to mostly help people out as there isn't a forum for this book (as stated in the book!).
I didn't have any trouble copying the files from the cd except for webctrl_client as it doesn't exist on the cd, and for the application to work, this folder it is needed. I had to source IEWebControls controls from www.ASP.NET. This got the app working ok. The other annoying thing is the sql script to make the user 'community' doesn't do the job completely as it leaves out that user's permissions, I have to change the connection string to point to user SA for the time being.
Other than this I have found the book interesting, and I am hoping as I get further into the book I won't encounter any further problems. Maybe I brought the wrong book as a ASP.NET newbie, but I do llike the idea of working through an application from start to finish and the author (from his bio) knows what he is on about.
