Title: Don't waste your money
Product review: This book is cheap, but you get what you pay for. I bought this book to use as a reference, but was sorely disappointed whenever I looked up a topic, only to find no mention of it. The index only goes up to "W", so you won't find XML mentioned anywhere. I wanted to know how to load XML into a datagrid, but this book didn't get me any closer.The book focuses almost exclusively on the datagrid control (so a more apt title would be "Datagrid Kick Start"). You won't even find much (if anything) on listboxes, combo boxes, checkboxes, or radio buttons. It's always possible that these topics are mentioned somewhere in the book but not in the index.I wound up returning it and purchasing "Programming ASP.Net" by Jesse Liberty. It's more expensive, but very comprehensive. As an aside, I was lucky they took it back since the poor quality binding was already starting to come loose.
