Accessibility Improvements in ASP.NET 2.0 - Part 1
In this two-part article, we've tried to show you how easy it is to provide better accessibility in your pages for disadvantaged visitors. In particular, the users of non-graphical and non-visual user agents depend heavily on the extra features that you include in your pages, but which are not visible to users of the ubiquitous graphical browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla.

Additional functionality for ASP.NET 2.0's CookieParameter
This article addresses some missing functionality in ASP.NET 2.0's CookieParameter type, including getting a multi-valued cookie Key value and providing some HttpCookieEncryption support.
ASP.NET 2.0 Profile: Simple User Personalization for Your Web Apps
Most enterprise Web applications need to track user preferences across multiple visits. In ASP.NET 1.x, you need to write lots of code to create this functionality. ASP.NET 2.0 introduces a new object, named profile, that simplifies the steps involved in tracking personalization information. This article provides an introduction to the profile object and differentiates it from the session object. It also demonstrates how to define user profiles, both simple name/value pair profiles and profile groups. Finally, it explains the procedures involved in configuring profiles to work with different providers.
ASP.Net V2.0 - Introduction
Since Whidbey and ASP.Net V2.0 has been unveiled by Microsoft at PDC 03, we thought that we should start updating you guys with some previews of new IDE and framework. If you attended PDC 03 or has MSDN subscription then you have access to these pre-beta bits of the framework. If you don't have access to Whidbey bits, even then this series should be a curtain raiser to see what new stuff you will be expecting from Microsoft in the new framework.
ASP.NET Whidbey Features
The new Version ASP.NET 2.0 (code-named Whidbey) has many improvements that greatly increase developer productivity. These new enhancements arm the developers with a powerful platform that can make a significant impact in the way Web applications are developed and maintained. Apart from increasing the productivity of the developers, ASP.NET 2.0 also provides a number of excellent features, such as Master Pages, Themes, Personalization features and web parts.
Asynchronous page - ASP.Net 2.0
Beta 2 of Asp.Net 2.0 will have a better support for asynchronous page tasks. Instead of looking a thread until a page has bean completely proceed, you can now use the improved asynchronous feature that could increase the performance of a 3-tier application. In this post I will write about the asynchronous page tasks.
Binding to XML Data in ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 1.0 featured easy binding of user interface controls to ADO.NET data sources. ASP.NET 2.0 extends this concept to make it easy to bind XML files directly to the user interface. See how in this demonstration.
Configuring Your ASP.NET 2.0 Site
If you did any work in ASP.NET 1.0, you're intimately familiar with grubbing around in the web.config file. The file is still there in 2.0, but now there are new tools to help you avoid the drudgery. In this article, you'll see how upgrading to ASP.NET 2.0 can take some of the pain out of maintaining an ASP.NET Web site.
Cross page postbacks in ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 2.0 introduces the ability to have an ASPX page
postback to a different ASPX page with cross page postbacks.
This was done all the time in ASP but wasn't supported in
ASP.NET 1.x. Here we show you how to use this new feature.
Custom Paging in ASP.NET 2.0 with SQL Server 2005
A common pattern in web development is providing paged access to data. Rather than displaying the entire contents of a report or database table to an end user, developers often show only a subset of records per web page, with controls for moving from page to page. With ASP.NET 1.x, the DataGrid made paging incredibly simple - just set the AllowPaging property to True and add a few lines of code in the PageIndexChanged event handler and you were done! ASP.NET 2.0's GridView makes the process even simpler - just check the Enable Paging option from the GridView's smart tag - no code needed.
Effective Data Paging Using SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft's Enterprise Library
Effective data paging always has two parameters, PageSize and CurrentPage. Non-effective data paging will most likely have something like CurrentRecord and MaxRecords. This forces you to save the last record somewhere in order to know which records you are going to be pulling out next. Also, non-effective data paging can be done using a data adapter.
Mobile-enable Your Existing Web Apps with ASP.NET 2.0
Besides adding a multitude of new features and more than 30+ new controls, Microsoft also made every control in ASP.NET 2.0 mobile aware. Learn how to leverage these new mobile capabilities and what bugs to avoid while mobile-enabling your Web-based applications.
New Features of ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 2.0 provides many new and improved features for developers to improve the performance and reduce the code. This article discusses new features of ASP.NET 2.0.
Refactoring in Visual Studio 2005
Refactoring allows developers to use the built-in feature of Visual Studio to rename and convert and change the signatures and definitions of a class members. In this article, I will show you how refactoring feature provided by Visual Studio 2005 can be a handy tool when you are reorganizing or optimizing your existing projects.
The Code Models Of ASP.NET 2.0
The typical web form consists of controls (like labels, buttons, and data grids), and programming logic. In ASP.NET 2.0, there are two approaches to managing these control and code pieces: the single-file page model and the code-behind page model. Regardless of which model you choose, it’s important to understand how the runtime is processing and executing your web forms behind the scenes. In this article, we will examine how web forms move from design time to run-time in ASP.NET 2.0.
Using Property Extender Providers with ASP.NET 2.0
Property extender providers are widely used in the Windows Forms environment where this technology enjoys full support of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio IDE. Conversely ASP.NET developers do not always fully appreciate the benefits of the technique. This article demonstrates how to take advantage of the property extenders in ASP.NET custom control projects and suggests practical solutions to issues with design-time serialization and state management posed by ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
Web Site Operations in ASP.NET 2.0
How ASP.NET 2.0, Internet Information Services 6.0, and the
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 make deploying, configuring,
monitoring, and maintaining Web applications easier than ever
before. Gives an overview of how to perform IT operations with
ASP.NET 2.0 and IIS 6.0.
