Not so in-depth to drive me crazy
I consider this a great book for starting to work with ASP.NET Server Controls. I have the MS Press book also but it is just so deep right off the start that it was hard for me to follow. (Although now I refer to it more and more) I have referenced this book may times for creating my server controls and it has been very helpful! Maybe the key is purchasing all of the server control books you can find and taking the best of each but I would definitely recommend this book as a great starting point for server controls.

advance book but first 7 chapter were good
chapter 1-7 was okay very good for a beginner
with v good explnations
chapter 8 onwards the chapters just went downhill
Cannot get chapter 8 and chapter 9 downloads to work
there were full of bugs
It was very hard to try get the the last examples in
the few chapters to work since the explnations were
very poor too

Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen
Wow. This book is really confusing! I bought this book last year when I started working on a large project using .NET. It's been over 12 months and I'm grown to love .NET---and built-up quite a bag of tools.

When I returned to this book recently to build my own custom controls, I thought it would be much more comprehensible than my first attempt. Unfortunately it wasn't. That is, until I read a few articles and an excerpt from Dino Esposito's book! Esposito's explanations were so much more clear and simple--while this book took that same subject and made it so complicated!

Don't buy this book.
