ASP.NET 2.0 Rocks!

I have been working with ASP.NET 2.0 for the past few weeks and it has been an incredible experience.  There are just SO many great new things that it would be impossible to list them all.  My personal favorites are master pages, ObjectDataSource, two-way databinding, and being able to register user controls globally in web.config.

Thanks to the .NET 2.0 Beta 2 Go-Live license we can now start deploying websites using it.  If you are taking the wait and see approach on using .NET 2.0, I highly recommend that you reconsider.  I believe that Microsoft has done such a great job with the beta 2 version that it is of much better quality than the original 1.0/1.1 final releases already.

P.S. If you need great .NET 2.0 website hosting then take a look at Server Intellect.

    I really need help Please read the following:



    Hi

    Foremost excuse me, my english is poor



    I was reading the lastest post from mharoon and Mike123 about lookup data with custom entities(http://www.ericjsmith.net/codesmith/forum/default.aspx?f=9&amp;m=3323) about <a target="_new" href="http://cstemplates.sourceforge.net">http://cstemplates.sourceforge.net I have my Entities and Entity-Collections but I have a BIG dude.



    Suppose I have the following structure:



    Product

    |

    ------------ Category

    |

    ------------ Supplier



    In other words Products has foreing keys of Categories and Suppliers Tables



    HERE IS THE GBIG QUESTION

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    What's the best way to model my business entity Product? To Display his related info?



    I was trying to use 3-tier generator (<a target="_new" href="http://cstemplates.sourceforge.net">http://cstemplates.sourceforge.net) but this only generate alone entities with only foreingkeys reference. But I need in some moment display a User Interface like this



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ProductName | SupplierName | CategoryName | Price | Stock

    | | | |

    Full Descriptions!!!



    But with the solution of Mike123 I need load the all Categories and Suppliers and this solution I think only works for ASP.NET but no for WinForms and for each foreing key I will need probably a Description and my performance will be very bad (or my perception is a mistake?)



    There are another solution? maybe a pattern?

    I was reading about Lazy Pattern but this will create a dependency to &lt;&lt;Table&gt;&gt;Repository



    I think the posibble solution is create another parallel Entity like



    Customer ----- CustomerFullDescription (for example) this entity will contains all description for each foreing key ..... of Course I will need another Collection class



    This is a valid solution?



    Please help me!



    Thanks
