Inside the Microsoft Build Engine
As software complexity continues to increase, more emphasis is being placed on proper build
practices. Previously (before .NET 2.0) the build process for .NET applications was mostly a
black box. Now this process has been completely externalized in the Microsoft Build Engine,
MSBuild. MSBuild allows you to take control over every aspect of the build process. Since the
release of MSBuild, there has been a need for a defi nitive reference. Inside the Microsoft Build
Engine is that defi nitive reference! We have been working for over a year on this book, and
the MSBuild team has been involved right from the beginning.

Dynamic .NET 4.0 - Applications Data Driven Programming for .NET Framework
Data-driven development focuses on storing application structures in a database and deriving
application functionality from the data structure itself, though few applications are entirely data-driven.
A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) system is one such type of application. Users of a
LIMS system need to create definitions for various data elements they require in the process of
laboratory research. It is, in effect, a scaled-down version of the Visual Studio IDE. You must dynamically
generate data tables and drag and drop controls on a form. Each of the data elements may require data
validation that’s written in C# or VB.NET source code and compiled at runtime to check the data and
provide feedback to those performing data entry to the system.

Advanced ASP.NET AJAX Server Controls for .NET Framework v3.5
SERVER CONTROLS ARE AN INTEGRAL aspect of every ASP.NET application we build. They encapsulate browser appearance and server functionality in a reusable object. They can be used across multiple pages within a single ASP.NET application and across multiple ASP.NET applications. ASP.NET comes with a lot of prebuilt server controls. We have simple controls such as the label, and we have complex controls such as the GridView. We can also create our own server controls to meet a need not met by one of the existing controls by inheriting from the appropriate base class and overriding its methods as needed.

ASP .NET - MVC in Action
The ASP.NET MVC Framework was a vision of Scott Guthrie in early 2007. With a prototype demonstration in late 2007 as well as a key hire of Phil Haack as the Senior Program Manager of the feature team, Scott made the vision a reality. At a time when the .NET community was becoming frustrated that other platforms had great MVC frameworks like Tapestry, Rails, and so on, Web Forms was losing favor as developers struggled to make it do things previously unimagined when it became public in 2001.
