Summary

Server Controls are amongst the most powerful features to be added to ASP with the introduction of .NET. These server-side components can detect which browser version the client is using and generate the appropriate HTML and JavaScript code. The addition of Server Controls will replace the need for excessive coding by the ASP.NET developer, who will only have to write around 10% of the code that they would have needed with any other technology, including previous versions of ASP.-- A major improvement for ASP, Server Controls enable ASP.NET developers to write only 10% of the code that they would have needed with any other technology, including previous versions of ASP-- First title dedicated to this important topic, covering everything from making the most of ASP.NET's built-in controls, to creating custom server controls
