Intermediate - Advanced Level Book on ASP.NET

[imterpsfan3]

I am looking for an intermediate to advanced book on ASP.NET. I've made the mistake of buying some books in the past that didn't suit my needs. It seems there are so few good .NET books out there. These are the requirements I have for this book:

1- contains C# examples
2- uses Visual Studio.net 2003
3- uses MSDE/SQL Server with stored procedures
4- guides you through an actual project instead of isolated examples that have no relevance to each other

I'm curious as to why
1- most of the ASP.NET books are in VB.NET (there are more jobs in C# than VB.NET)
2- many of the books don't use Visual Studio
3- many of the books use access with inline sql (any real production web site would not use access with inline sql, they'd use stored procedures with a database like SQL Server)


Does such a book exist?

Does it have to be a book? There are lots of good reference sites that you could use that provide info like this (and at no cost!).

I would prefer it to be a book, but am open to any resource available.

Weel there are lots of good sites that show you how to do most database activities. For example,

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/

http://www.asp.net/

If there is anything specific that you have problems with, then Tek-Tips is a obviously a very good resource (try reading some of the FAQ's), but you can learn the basics quite easily from just reading through these sites.

Personally, I don't own a .NET book but do a lot of reading from websites and forums (that doesn't mean that you can't buy a book but I've never found an instance where I couldn't find an answer from searching on the internet).
