My new book: The Web Part Infrastructure Uncovered

Here it is! My new book(let). I finished the content quite some time ago, but then had to create a nice cover and do all of the promotional blurb text etc. For some reason, I wanted to do it all myself this time. Took me quite some extra time, but I feel really proud now.

I am also really impressed by the printing quality delivered by Lulu.com. Printing on demand is really ready to compete with bulk printing, it seems.

Cool, Teun! I'm really happy for you, and your experience with lulu.com seems to have been a good one; I might try it too, someday!

Greetings from the 'land of the long white cloud'. :)
 
Hi,

if it has
1: a *thorough* explanation of Render vs RenderContent vs RenderControl
2: a *thorough* walkthrough of lifecycle and event firing order (like when you load UC in a webpart and events fire too late)

ill buy it :-)

hello my name is david martin, i bought your book which helped me to understand the unformatted bit,
thanks for that.
i am trying to put together a project now, couple of months ago i had the unformatted data working, but i tried to do it again now and ObjectStateFormatter formatter = new ObjectStateFormatter();
object[] DataArray = (object[])formatter.Deserialize(base64Data);
DataQueue = new Queue object (DataArray);
is giving me an error.
do not know what to do anymore. please help
 
@david: Sorry, but I cannot help you out based on this information. You can send me an e-mail at teun at duynstee dot com and I'll look into your issue. Make sure to include the actual base64Data string you use.
 
@andersr: the book includes a fairly thorough walkthrough of the event lifecycle and which web-part operations take place at which moment. What to do when you dynamically load controls at runtime to ensure firing of events is not very web-part specific. I would suggest reading up in Nikhil Kothari's book on server controls: http://www.amazon.ca/Developing-ASP-NET-Server-Controls-Components/dp/0735615829

The exact difference between Render, RenderControl and RenderContent are also not webpart specific. I may write up a summary of these later. I have really tried to keep this book small and to the point on a specific subject.
