ASP.NET Version 2.0 Public Preview

I'm at the DevConnections conference in New Orleans this week and last night's keynote featured Scott Guthrie's first ever public demo of ASP.NET Version 2.0!  It looks like DataGridGirl beat me to the scoop about how cool the new grid control will be -- no code for paging and sorting and even editing.  The other feature he showed was the new sql dependency supported by output caching -- the data is cached as long as you set and is automatically invalidated when it changes in the raw data table.  He didn't show any of the other cool things that some of us have seen in private, but this was a really cool initial public preview.  By the way, it was obvious looking at Scott's demo that "Venus" is the codename being used for at least part of ASP.NET v2.0.

SQL Dependency? *falls over and dies from heart attack*

Awesome!!! (y)

But is it fast and efficient? You could do this before, but there was never really a need to because of the extra overhead it would take, making it pointless...so is it different now that it's backed in?

I think its slated for sometime in 2004, but I don't know that I've heard any specific month or quarter.
