ASP.NET v2.0: Miscellaneous Cool Features
ASP.NET v2.0 makes it easy to set focus and defaul buttons,
as well as maintain your scroll positions across postbacks.
Its easy to setup a site map so navigational menus, trees,
and breadcrumbs are all based on this one store.
Client-side callbacks that allow you to minimize postbacks
are really cool, as is the creation of a separate
ControlState (from ViewState) for essential properties. Of
course, it goes without say that I like MasterPages, as well
as Themes and Skins. I also like the Code and Resources
directories, and you can even specify additional code
directories to automatically compile. Finally, VS.NET
actually does not alter your html, and it actually will even
supply some more control of how it alters it if you want it
to do so at all in the first place.
