I would have save a lot of money if I'd found this book first!
I recently decided to add C# 2008 to my quiver of developer weapons, and I bought a LOT of books on the subject. Most were pretty good, one (SAMS Teach Yourself C#2008 in 24 Hours) was excellent, but none of them targeted exactly what I needed to know. I bought a lot of texts telling me stuff I already know, like how to use the Visual Studio IDE and what classes and methods and properties are. What I really wanted to know was how to implement a robust, data-driven web site using C# 2008, including how to manage data effectively with datasets and use style sheets and CSS for layout. Bits of this were in all my books, but Beginning ASP.Net E-Commerce in C#2008 was like a perfect distillation of just the stuff I really needed/wanted to know. As an experienced VB.Net developer, this book led me right to new material I could use right away, with only a little review of the basics. It really isn't a beginner programmer's book, but for an experienced developer looking to add a new language and tool set, it is ideal.
The writing is clear, the narrative voice pleasant and not at all dry, the examples to the point and useful. If I could only keep one C# book on my desk (I have the Kindle DX so I can keep them ALL in one hand!) it would be this one. Well done, to the point, and USEFUL.

Error prone with no website for errata or comments that get any attension
First, the book is a great book as far as showing you how to do website design. Each chapter builds on the rest of the book.
However, there have been problems with the url-rewrite section. Ever since I added that to my sample site it has stopped working properly. My *.css file could not be found, picture urls did not work and more recently my full text search.asp also does not work on pages other than page 1 of a category site. It took me over a month of on again off again trying to get it to work for me to find out about how to fix this problem by adding another url rewrite to my web config file. The authors just seem to skip this part of the code. It is not in their code either so I start to wonder if they ever tried their code before being finished with the book.
It has been impossible to contact them about this problem and on Christians web site their are no errata available to view or able to be published. The site on [...] is completely useless and I have never received a response from it or the authors about my questions. This attitude that they have is beyond me.

asp.net e-commerce 2008 c#
I originally got the ASP.NET E - Commerce in c# 2005 version and I thought that book was amazing. This book pretty much on how to build am asp.net e-commerce site from design to implementation and tells you why it was implemented that way. Some of the chapters here are pretty much the same from the 2005 version and newly added chapters such as URL rewrite. I recommend this book if u want to get experience on how to create a e-commerce website.

A mi me parece interesante ya que conocere un lenguaje que se hace ajeno y con ello poder conocer un poco mas de programacion web. Aunque creo que el lenguaje es complicado no se me hace imposible de comprender. Me parece que es muy interesante.
