Learn how to how to use C# for Internet programming with
the hands-on techniques and clear explanations. This book
discusses some C# features that allow rapid development of
solutions such as garbage collection, simplified type
declarations, and scalability support. The book explains
key concepts in a simple and practical manner. Web Forms
and Web Controls usher in an elegant way to make dynamic
Web pages. The book covers these topics with how-to code
examples and projects. One of the newest developments in
Internet programming is the use of XML and the SOAP
communication protocol. .NET Web Services harness these two
technologies, and is covered in later sections of the book.
