----------------------------------------------------------- From: Swapnil_B1 Message 1 in Discussion ASP.NET 2.0 Computer languages and frameworks evolve as the needs of the development community evolve. ASP.NET is certainly no exception. ASP.NET 2.0 is the first major update to the ASP.NET framework and includes solutions to common problems encountered with ASP.NET 1.x as well as new features that greatly increase the flexibility and functionality of Web development on the .NET platform. If you are still working with ASP or ASP.NET applications, then ASP.NET 2.0 offers even more incentive to upgrade, we will discuss these features in my upcoming articles on ASP.NET 2.0 ASP.NET is a programming framework built on the common language runtime that can be used on a server to build powerful Web applications. The first version of ASP.NET offered several important advantages over previous Web development models. ASP.NET 2.0 improves upon that foundation by adding support for several new and exciting features in the areas of developer productivity, administration and management, extensibility, and performance. 1. Improve the reliability and usability of Web applications Currently, many ASP.NET 1.x applications run on Microsoft IIS 5.0. ASP.NET 2.0 leverages new IIS 6.0 features for improved performance and scalability. Specifically, IIS 6.0 provides a new process model which greatly enhances the ability of a server to host multiple applications in a truly independent fashion. Each application runs completely separated from every other application. If one application crashes, it doesn't affect other applications. In terms of usability, new features such as master pages and themes allow you to develop large Web applications using a consistent structure that is manageable and configurable. 2. Reduce the number of lines of code you have to write in common scenarios ASP.NET 2.0 includes wizards and controls that allow you to perform frequent tasks (e.g. data access) without having to write a single line of code. ASP.NET 2.0 also leverages changes in the .NET Framework. In particular, the partial class concept is particularly useful for ASP.NET developers. A partial class lets you write part of the code and lets the ASP.NET compiler write the rest when necessary. 3. Offer user features to personalize Web applications ASP.NET 2.0 includes built-in controls to help you manage user accounts and personalize the content and layout of pages in your application. First, the membership service lets you track users. The new login controls integrate with the membership service to allow you to automate account creation and user login without writing any code. The new Web Parts feature allows you to create Web applications that contain controls that can be edited and personalized by users. Finally, the Profile service provides long-term persistence of user preferences and data through declarative XML configuration. 4. Provide enhanced design features to generate consistent layouts and design ASP.NET 2.0 supports master pages, themes and skins to build applications with a consistent page layout and design. These new features are easy to implement and modify, and greatly enhance the manageability and maintainability of large applications.
