MSDN Webcast Recap: An Introduction to ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts

First, thank you to everyone who attended the webcast last week on ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts. During the webcast there were some great questions and I had a fun time doing it. Below are the related links:

Also, the example with the UpdatePanel was a little dry. As a result, the demo now includes a Yahoo News Web Part that uses an UpdatePanel to refresh the UI dynamically. Below is a snapshot:

Lastly, included within the demo; is an example of the TextBoxWatermark control from the Ajax Control Toolkit and a simple client-centric example.

  • An excellent introduction to webparts. However, it seem to fail to describe how the personalization is saved to SQL Express. So the question is, how does webparts save the layout and controls to the database.

  • Hi Martin,

    The personalization is saved by default using the out of the box sql provider. Under the hood, this data is saved into an xml blob for each user.
