Best book for the data controls...

I just want to say that I have gathered quite a few programming books, and several on ASP.Net. This is definately up there in my list of top books I have bought. If you do, or want to do, ASP.Net development, you have to buy this book. You want to learn how to page data in the datagrid? The author gives multiple ways to do it. You want to know when to use the data list or data repeater control? He breaks it down for...

Blinding!

DataGrid Web Control Articles are just great.They are easy to read and go into sufficient depth to be really useful instead of just skimming the surface.11 out of 10 from me.
