Hello again,
I've been learning ASP.NET trough the internet (which isn't a bad thing at all), but I would like to have a book to learn from too.

So my question is, can you recommend a good book?
I want to have a book, where everything is programmed, not using SQLDataSource etc, but where the application is hard-coded - I like that the most :-)

Thanks!

I doubt that you will find such a beast since it probably would not sell very well, to many drag and drop web developers out there.  This is about as close you will get.

http://www.amazon.com/Pro-ADO-NET-2-0-Experts-Voice/dp/1590595122/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245628577&sr=1-3

This is a good book for you on ADO.NET:

http://www.amazon.com/Professional-ADO-NET-Julian-Skinner/dp/186100527X

This is another good book on linq and entity framework:

http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-ADO-NET-3-5-with-LINQ-and-the-Entity-Framework.productCd-047018261X.html

One book is not enough for you to become aN asp.net master and even one year.

You can start with

Beginning ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB by Imar Spanjaars

or

Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 by Matthew MacDonald

Then

Beginning ASP.NET ECOMMERCE IN C#  BY CRISTIAN DARIE AND KARIL WATSON

(THIS BOOK IS TOTALLY HARDCODED ABOUT CREATING AN ECOMMERCE APPLICATION)

You should know how to work in presentation layer with controls using VISUAL STUDIO... THIS WILL LAY THE FOUNDATION TO create the required , scalable Busines Layer and Data Layer (the code behinds and classes)

GOOD LUCK
