Visual Studio 2008 will be launched this year. It supports completely to .Net 3.5. Although it's time to move further with .Net 3.5, I'm not writing about this newest version of .Net framework. I'm writing about .Net 2.0, specifically on its web technology, ASP.Net 2.0. This version has been used since several years ago and still in use today. Let us start from the beginning, comparing ASP.Net 2.0 with the previous version.
There are several goals reached by using ASP.Net 2.0 rather than ASP.Net 1.0. We will start with two of them.
1. Increasing Developer Productivity
The 2.0 version make common ASP.Net task easier. It decrease much of tedious coding in application. For example, compare using ASP.Net 1.0's DataGrid and ASP.Net 2.0's GridView with SqlDataSource. The code used with GridView are much more simple. GridView and SqlDataSource are new in .Net 2.0. There are other thousand of possible example showing ASP.Net 2.0 productivity. You can imagine how quick you will create your application.
2. Administration and Management of ASP.Net Application Become Easier
ASP.Net 2.0 have a Microsoft Management Console to administer web application, edit configuration setting easily. You can edit the content of machine.config and web.config from dialog instead of editing xml files. There is also a web based way to administer web application using Web Site Administration Tool. Beside managing application configuration, with the tool you can manage user membership and role. This membership and role can be used for user validation in application.
Those are for now. It's just the beginning.
