The best I've found
I'm a professional C# & WinForms developer who's moving over to ASP.NET. I've looked at a few books (and mis-purchased one) but luckily eventually found this book. The authors really know their ASP.NET, and they write about it and present it perfectly. The coverage is accurate, insightful, comprehensive (as far as I can tell), interesting and paced just right. I read it bit by bit on the train into work, and can't wait to get into the office to apply the new things I've just learned. Can't recommend this one strongly enough.

Very very good
I have a lot of asp.net books but this is the best by far. It's clear, well written and the examples are relevant. I've been programming .net since version 1.1, and its nice that I'm bumping into stuff that I just didn't know before. Anyway, to put it simply, I can't recommend this book enough, I've packed all my others away :)

Coverage and depth
What more can I say? Its all in here and with plenty of examples to show how it all works too. Nice writing style makes for easy reading - but at 1498 pages you ain't going to get through it in a day. Its great for dipping in and out of and for looking up the specifics of C#/ASP topics - or pick a chapter and enhance your knowledge.

Very, very impressed by this - its my first APress book, but it won't be my last.

AJAX and Silverlight. This is good introduction to these technology, too.

Everyday I work with building internet application and websites, and I using this book in my work. It's incredibly source of examples, best practices and information about my

favourite web technology. I have a two, the best chapters,and I like read this two, three ... and when I read this I always found new features in ASP.NET.
I like chapters about advanced user interface techniques where developers can learn about user controls, customer server controls, using JavaScript in client-side features and

GDI+ with ASP.NET applications, and chapter about development applications with Internet Information Services 7, Microsoft's premier web hosting platform.

Mathew and Mario does a great job relating everything to real world scenarios. He also provides very usable code samples.
