Answer / venkata reddy

ASP.NET is a programming framework built on the common
language runtime that can be used on a server to build
powerful Web applications. The first version of ASP.NET
offered several important advantages over previous Web
development models. ASP.NET 2.0 improves upon that
foundation by adding support for several new and exciting
features in the areas of developer productivity,
administration and management, extensibility, and
performance:

Developer Productivity
ASP.NET 2.0 encapsulates common Web tasks into application
services and controls that can be easily reused across web
sites. With these basic building blocks, many scenarios can
now be implemented with far less custom code than was
required in previous versions. With ASP.NET 2.0 it is
possible to significantly reduce the amount of code and
concepts necessary to build common scenarios on the web.
New Server Controls. ASP.NET 2.0 introduces many new server
controls that enable powerful declarative support for data
access, login security, wizard navigation, menus,
treeviews, portals, and more. Many of these controls take
advantage of core application services in ASP.NET for
scenarios like data access, membership and roles, and
personalization. Some of the new families of controls in
ASP.NET 2.0 are described below.


Data Controls. Data access in ASP.NET 2.0 can be
accomplished completely declaratively (no code) using the
new data-bound and data source controls. There are new data
source controls to represent different data backends such
as SQL database, business objects, and XML, and there are
new data-bound controls for rendering common UI for data,
such as gridview, detailsview, and formview..


Navigation Controls. The navigation controls provide common
UI for navigating between pages in your site, such as
treeview, menu, and sitemappath. These controls use the
site navigation service in ASP.NET 2.0 to retrieve the
custom structure you have defined for your site.


Login Controls. The new login controls provide the building
blocks to add authentication and authorization-based UI to
your site, such as login forms, create user forms, password
retrieval, and custom UI for logged in users or roles.
These controls use the built-in membership and role
services in ASP.NET 2.0 to interact with the user and role
information defined for your site.


Web Part Controls. Web parts are an exciting new family of
controls that enable you to add rich, personalized content
and layout to your site, as well as the ability to edit
that content and layout directly from your application
pages. These controls rely on the personalization services
in ASP.NET 2.0 to provide a unique experience for each user
in your application.


Master Pages. This feature provides the ability to define
common structure and interface elements for your site, such
as a page header, footer, or navigation bar, in a common
location called a "master page", to be shared by many pages
in your site. In one simple place you can control the look,
feel, and much of functionality for an entire Web site.
This improves the maintainability of your site and avoids
unnecessary duplication of code for shared site structure
or behavior.


Themes and Skins. The themes and skins features in ASP.NET
2.0 allow for easy customization of your site's look-and-
feel. You can define style information in a common location
called a "theme", and apply that style information globally
to pages or controls in your site. Like Master Pages, this
improves the maintainability of your site and avoid
unnecessary duplication of code for shared styles.


Personalization. Using the new personalization services in
ASP.NET 2.0 you can easily create customized experiences
within Web applications. The Profile object enables
developers to easily build strongly-typed, sticky data
stores for user accounts and build highly customized,
relationship based experiences. At the same time, a
developer can leverage Web Parts and the personalization
service to enable Web site visitors to completely control
the layout and behavior of the site, with the knowledge
that the site is completely customized for them.
Personalizaton scenarios are now easier to build than ever
before and require significantly less code and effort to
implement.


Localization. Enabling globalization and localization in
Web sites today is difficult, requiring large amounts of
custom code and resources. ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio
2005 provide tools and infrastructure to easily build
Localizable sites including the ability to auto-detect
incoming locale's and display the appropriate locale based
UI. Visual Studio 2005 includes built-in tools to
dynamically generate resource files and localization
references. Together, building localized applications
becomes a simple and integrated part of the development
experience.


Administration and Management
ASP.NET 2.0 is designed with administration and
manageability in mind. We recognize that while simplifying
the development experience is important, deployment and
maintenance in a production environment is also a key
component of an application's lifetime. ASP.NET 2.0
introduces several new features that further enhance the
deployment, management, and operations of ASP.NET servers.
Configuration API. ASP.NET 2.0 contains new configuration
management APIs, enabling users to programmatically build
programs or scripts that create, read, and update
Web.config and machine.config configuration files.


ASP.NET MMC Admin Tool. ASP.NET 2.0 provides a new
comprehensive admin tool that plugs into the existing IIS
Administration MMC, enabling an administrator to
graphically read or change common settings within our XML
configuration files.


Pre-compilation Tool. ASP.NET 2.0 delivers a new
application deployment utility that enables both developers
and administrators to precompile a dynamic ASP.NET
application prior to deployment. This precompilation
automatically identifies any compilation issues anywhere
within the site, as well as enables ASP.NET applications to
be deployed without any source being stored on the server
(one can optionally remove the content of .aspx files as
part of the compile phase), further protecting your
intellectual property.


Health Monitoring and Tracing. ASP.NET 2.0 also provides
new health-monitoring support to enable administrators to
be automatically notified when an application on a server
starts to experience problems. New tracing features will
enable administrators to capture run-time and request data
from a production server to better diagnose issues. ASP.NET
2.0 is delivering features that will enable developers and
administrators to simplify the day-to-day management and
maintenance of their Web applications.
Flexible Extensibility
ASP.NET 2.0 is a well-factored and open system, where any
component can be easily replaced with a custom
implementation. Whether it is server controls, page
handlers, compilation, or core application services, you'll
find that all are easily customizable and replaceable to
tailor to your needs. Developers can plug in custom code
anywhere in the page lifecycle to further customize ASP.NET
2.0 to their needs.
Provider-driven Application Services. ASP.NET 2.0 now
includes built-in support for membership (user
name/password credential storage) and role management
services out of the box. The new personalization service
enables quick storage/retrieval of user settings and
preferences, facilitating rich customization with minimal
code. The new site navigation system enables developers to
quickly build link structures consistently across a site.
As all of these services are provider-driven, they can be
easily swapped out and replaced with your own custom
implementation. With this extensibility option, you have
complete control over the data store and schema that drives
these rich application services.


Server Control Extensibility. ASP.NET 2.0 includes improved
support for control extensibility, such as more base
classes that encapsulate common behaviors, improved
designer support, more APIs for interacting with client-
side script, metadata-driven support for new features like
themes and accessibility verification, better state
management, and more.


Data Source Controls. Data access in ASP.NET 2.0 is now
performed declaratively using data source controls on a
page. In this model, support for new data backend storage
providers can be easily added by implementing custom data
source controls. Additionally, the SqlDataSource control
that ships in the box has built-in support for any ADO.NET
managed provider that implements the new provider factory
model in ADO.NET.


Compilation Build Providers. Dynamic compilation in ASP.NET
2.0 is now handled by extensible compilation build
providers, which associate a particular file extension with
a handler that knows how to compile that extension
dynamically at runtime. For example, .resx files can be
dynamically compiled to resources, .wsdl files to web
service proxies, and .xsd files to typed DataSet objects.
In addition to the built-in support, it is easy to add
support for additional extensions by implementing a custom
build provider and registering it in Web.config.


Expression Builders. ASP.NET 2.0 introduces a declarative
new syntax for referencing code to substitute values into
the page, called Expression Builders. ASP.NET 2.0 includes
expression builders for referencing string resources for
localization, connection strings, application settings, and
profile values. You can also write your own expression
builders to create your own custom syntax to substitute
values in a page rendering.
Performance and Scalability
ASP.NET is built to perform, using a compiled execution
model for handling page requests and running on the world's
fastest web server, Internet Information Services. ASP.NET
2.0 also introduces key performance benefits over previous
versions.
64-Bit Support. ASP.NET 2.0 is now 64-bit enabled, meaning
it can take advantage of the full memory address space of
new 64-bit processors and servers. Developers can simply
copy existing 32-bit ASP.NET applications onto a 64-bit
ASP.NET 2.0 server and have them automatically be JIT
compiled and executed as native 64-bit applications (no
source code changes or manual re-compile are required).


Caching Improvements. ASP.NET 2.0 also now includes
automatic database server cache invalidation. This powerful
and easy-to-use feature allows developers to aggressively
output cache database-driven page and partial page content
within a site and have ASP.NET automatically invalidate
these cache entries and refresh the content whenever the
back-end database changes. Developers can now safely cache
time-critical content for long periods without worrying
about serving visitors stale data.
The remainder of the QuickStart presents practical examples
of these and other features in ASP.NET.
