Cool free online tools for Web Development
This is not directly related to ASP.NET but might be very useful for general web development, check out these great free online tools from Dynamic Drive :

Use this online tool to easily create a favicon (favorites icon) for your site. A favicon is a small, 16x16 image that is shown inside the browser's location bar and bookmark menu when your site is called up. It is a good way to brand your site and increase it's prominence in your visitor's bookmark menu.
