I've read beginning ASP.NET from the wrox collection and am not working on my website. Following completion of my website, I want to ramp up to the next level. The two books I see as being an option are:
Pro ASP.NET 4.0 in C# (the Apress book)
or
Professional ASP.NET 3.5 (the wrox book) - maybe there is a 4.0 version coming out for this book?
Just wondered if anyone can advise which one is best - or what they liked about each and their personal preference?
Yes, the ASP.NET 4 version of the Wrox book from Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, and Devin Rader is coming soon, roughly timed to the software release whenever that is this spring:

I found the Apress book very helpful. It's hard to say which is better because they depend on your level of understanding and they both have their pros and cons.

It merely dependes on your understanding. I prefer Apress book. And I have Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008. Its very good book.

I like the Apress one better. Here is my review of the Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 Book Review:

But... If you want one with both vb and c# covered in one book, go with the wrox one.
