ASP.NET Control Building Book Recomendations

[HellfireHD]

If you could buy only one book on building Server Controls in ASP.NET, which book would it be and why? It seems like I spend the most project time debugging controls and tracing what's going on. I'd like to get a definitive guide to developing server controls so that I can master this and get on with the real work! TIA for you input.

If you are doing the ASP.NET 1.1, my recommendation is Nikhil's book[^]. For the version 2.0, I'm not sure if he has a plan for the second edition, but Dino Esposito is the name that I respect most and you might want to check out his book[^] and his crash courses in MSDN[^].

I'm doing .NET 2.0 these days.
