Question

I am building a Web Application for shopping cart using ASP.NET and I am new to ASP.NET.
One of my close associate suggested me to use the user controls, repeater and master page for faster development of pages.

Can you suggest me reading materials to quickly grasp its usage.

Thanks to All.

Justin Samuel.

Answer 1

Master Pages: Really simple concept and easy to implement. Do the bare minimum of reading then just create one and use it with a couple of pages – you really can’t go too far wrong with these. Maybe check something like this out:

Repeaters: Little bit more involved – more to learn (data binding, basic info on the page life cycle) but still very easy to learn.

simple example can be found on w3c schools:

if you are binding to info from a DB, best to use a datareader rather than a dataset:
