Microsoft recently launched the ASP.NET 1.x to 2.0 Upgrade center! - Bookmark this site as a reference for tutorials, white papers, and sample code related to ASP.NET 2.0 development!
Here’s an interesting read on common ASP.NET 2.0 upgrade issue resolutions.
If you’re coming to ASP.NET from other technologies, check out the ASP.NET Migration Center.
Just when I feel like things couldn't get any better... I learned recently that I was voted in as a member of the ASPInsiders team! Thank you so much to those who nominated/voted for me. As I mentioned in my MVP blog posting, I'm honored to be a part of a such an amazing group of people! I'm looking forward to doing whatever I can to work with the ASPInsiders to promote .net development in the community!
Interested in a FREE copy of CodeSmith 3.0?
If you live (or can travel to) the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, please join the North Dallas .NET User Group on August 3, when Rob Howard will feature CodeSmith 3.0 Tips & Tricks during a demo-filled session.
As an added bonus, please help me make our VP, Shane Henderson eat some crow. He absolutely thinks there is NO way we will have 200 attendees at the event, and I beg to differ! Especially with our new facility, FREE food/drinks, Rob Howard and FREE software! All I ask is that you prove me wrong! Shane's questioning your geekdom - don't let him get away with that!!!!! We have a $50 bet, and I promise to donate the money to a charitable cause if I win!
Update: Shane's Blog Entry about our friendly wager :)
