IP Telephony has revolutionized many aspects of telecommunications and it continues to be deployed at a rapid pace. The benefits of transporting voice over an IP infrastructure include increased flexibility, better scalability, and a significant cost savings over traditional telephony networks. However, during the deployment of these VoIP solutions, other types of traditional telephony communications that can also realize these same benefits are often overlooked or ignored.

Fax, Modem, and Text for IP Telephony is a comprehensive resource that confronts the need for information on transporting alternative, non-voice communications over the IP protocol. Beginning with the basic theory and operation of fax, modem, and text telephony, this book then educates you on all of the current transport options that are available. An extensive design guide then provides the pertinent advice and best practices for making the correct planning decisions and choosing the best transport option for your network.

Fax, Modem, and Text for IP Telephony also includes meticulous configuration and troubleshooting guides. The configuration guides in this book include a number of sample configurations and tips to manage any fax, modem, or text deployment.

PROFESSIONAL ASP.NET 2.0 : SERVER CONTROL AND COMPONENT DEVELOPEMENT

The ASP.NET 2.0 Framework introduced web developers to dozens of new server controls and components, and a greatly expanded and easier structure for writing their own server controls and components. Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Server Control and Component Development covers the breadth of server control functionality as well as the rest of the membership, role management, SchemaImporterExtension, and so on C the functionality referred to as components. Written for the experienced ASP.NET developer, Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Server Control and Component Development will show you how to write your first sever control or custom component.

The step-by-step coverage drills down to the details of the extensible part of the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework that you need to extend to write the specified type of custom control or component. Rather than present the extensible part as a black box, it presents a detailed step-by-step approach to implement functional replica of the extensible part, discusses the replica s code in detail, and provides an in-depth coverage of the techniques, tools, and technologies used in the code. From there you get a detailed practical recipe for developing the specified type of custom control or component and book then uses the recipe to implement one or more real-world custom controls or components of the specified type that you can use in your own Web applications.
Some of the many types of controls and components you'll learn to build are:
*Ajax-enabled controls and components: four chapters on Ajax discuss and use Ajax patterns,
*ASP.NET 2.0 client callback mechanism, CSS, DOM, XML, and JavaScript to implement a number of Ajax-enabled controls and components.
*Web Parts: four chapters on Web Parts in ASP.NET 2.0 develop a number of custom WebPart, EditorPart, CatalogPart, WebPartZone, WebPartChrome, WebPartVerb, WebPartManager, and data-bound WebPart controls.
*5 chapters on ASP.NET 2.0 security, membership, and role management components
*5 chapters on ASP.NET 2.0 tabular and hierarchical data source controls and custom Parameter components
*4 chapters on ASP.NET 2.0 tabular data-bound controls and data control fields
*Developing controls and components that can access any type of data store and automate all their data operations such as Delete, Update, Insert, and Sort.
*XML Web service, WSDL, Google XML Web service API, SchemaImporterExtension, ISerializable, and CodeDom
*XmlReader, XmlWriter, XPathNavigator, DOM, and XmlResolver
*Provider-Based Services including how to implement a RSS service provider that can feed RSS from any type of data store such as SQL Server, file system, Web services, and so on
*HTTP modules, HTTP handler factories, HTTP handlers, and control builders including developing an HTTP module and an HTTP handler factory that perform URL rewriting and an HTTP handler that generates RSS feeds
*User controls and composite and templated custom controls
*State management and custom type converters.
*Events, IPostBackEventHandler, IPostBackDataHandler, and Page lifecycle

PROFESSIONAL WEB PARTS AND CUSTOM CONTROLS WITH ASP.NET 2.0

Custom controls and Web Parts can make you more productive by enabling you to create re-usable components for your WebForms. You can package up a piece of your user interface and re-use it within your Web site or across many Web sites. But that’s only one way that these controls make you more productive. If you’ve ever had an ASP.NET control that you wished worked slightly differently, you can now create the control that you want. When you build your own custom controls and Web Parts, you can have the control do as much (or as little) as you want.

This book’s focus is on how to use Visual Studio 2005 most effectively to create your controls (although the information you need to create custom controls, user controls, and Web Parts using any text editor is also included). Visual Studio 2005 provides you with the best support for creating ASP.NET applications and creating your own controls.
