This book is an easy read and takes you from Alpha to Omega of ASP.NET in smooth flow. This is also very thorough with illustrations.

I bought this book because I needed the information for a project that I am currently engaged in. The information contained within was immediately relevant in shaping the solution design. It gave me the how and the why to architect a solid, yet flexible solution.
This text is not a how-to for a beginner. It is also not light reading. It is a dense book; lots of information crammed into it. You have to bring your experience to this book for the full weight of the teaching to come to bear. I highly recommend it to application architects and development team leads.

This book is like those instruction you will want to give to your team members if you are the leader, but having to keep reading that for close to 600 pages!
Yes, the target is clearly not defined and if you want to get a work done by reading this book, please forget it.
If you implemented membership and roles, and seeking some extra advice may be you might find it useful. It does not really explain the various systems, illustrating each well enough.
I opened Forms Authetication, hoping to learn how to implement it in my project, just to read more than a page of people creating 50 years cookie. Is 2 or 3 lines of sentenses not enough to let someone know about 50 years cookie?

I bought this book for help with over-riding the membership providers and possible the profile providers. What I got was a full on introduction to how things really work under the covers. Didn't really help me with my original intention, but certainly improved my understanding of security in ASP.Net 2.0.

I am using ASP.NET 2.0 with forms-based security and wanted to authenticate and authorize using Active Directory users and groups as ASP.NET users and roles. After many hours and much research, I had authentication working. After more hours and research, I was looking at doing authorization using ADAM and not getting it to work. I was reading posts, blogs, MSDN articles, everything I could find. I purchased this e-book and downloaded it. Within hours I had authorization working in Active Directory like I originally wanted to.
If you have needs like these, or if you just want to understand these aspects of ASP.NET 2.0 Security in great detail, this book will be invaluable. As I worked through the chapters, the author even anticipated the errors I would encounter, explained them and explained what to do to solve them. While not everything is explained in total detail, there is enough for someone who is not an Active Directory expert to set it up and get it working. I've gotten more value in a shorter amount of time from this book than any other I've ever purchased.
