I liked the book and it had an excellent coverage of controls and forms. It wasn't a good choice for me as a beginning ASP.NET developer as I was unfamiliar with some of the language principles that C developers are already aware of, like inheritance. I also found the manual approach to working with the datasets burdenson, more time could have been spent on using the Visual studio UI to accomplish these tasks. Finally, the examples (especial in the ADO.NET section), built upon each other to an extent where I could not get them to work, and thus couldn't be sure I really learned the core material.
