4
.NET Framework 2.0
  • Generics Extension to the CLR type system
    allowing types with details left unspecified.
  • Type safety at compile-time
  • No need to create custom collection class
    implementations
  • Syntax IDictionaryltstring, MyClassgt (C),
    IDictionary(Of string, MyClass) (VB.NET)
  • Nullable Types Allows value types to have an
    undetermined value (NULL).
  • Transactions System.Transaction namespace

5
.NET Framework 2.0
6
Visual Studio 2005
  • Solution Folders Allows better organization of
    projects and miscellaneous files (Solution
    Items). You can use this to group projects into a
    simpler solution structure.
  • Web Projects
  • Dynamic project structure without a explicit
    project file (SP1 will allow us to use a 2003
    style project structure too)
  • Does not compile solution to an assembly
  • XHTML 1.0 1.1 compliance

7
Visual Studio 2005
  • ClientOnce Deployment Installation
  • Code Refactoring
  • Renaming variables
  • Create methods from code
  • Reorder parameters
  • Clean Solution Cleans up intermediate files
    created during build process
  • Design-Time Expression Evaluation Run code
    without compiling or running (Immediate Window)

8
Visual Studio 2005
  • ASP.NET
  • Accessibility Checker
  • File System-based Web Projects
  • Expression Handlers
  • HTML Source Preservation VS2005 does not
    reformat your code!
  • HTML Intellisense
  • Object Data Source / Binding

9
ASP.NET 2.0
  • Provider Model A provider is a software module
    that provides a uniform interface between a
    service and a data source.
  • Mainly used in the ASP.NET architecture
  • Shields the application from the physical
    resource being used in a common interface
  • Change the application through configuration
    files without need to change code
  • Built-in Membership, Role Management, Site Map,
    Profile, Session State, Web Events, Web Parts and
    Protected Configuration

10
ASP.NET 2.0
  • Membership Built on the Provider Model
    addressing the common need to manage user
    credentials
  • Cross Page Posting Allows developers to post to
    a second page and access the server controls of
    the calling page through Page.PreviousPage
    property
  • Master Pages Page that defines layout for a set
    of pages
  • Configuration Encryption Allows web.config
    sections to be encrypted

11
ASP.NET 2.0
  • Advanced Caching Can add SQL dependencies so
    that as data is changed in the database, page
    caching will be expired.
  • View State Microsoft split code control state
    data from optionally stored viewstate so
    developers could maintain behavioral state even
    when ViewState was disabled.
  • Validation Groups Allows for grouping of
    validation controls so trigger can be controlled
    better. For example there may be several buttons
    on a page and only certain validations should
    happen for each one.

12
ASP.NET 2.0
  • Control Adaptors Used internally to control the
    rendering of controls based on the client
    browser. Can be used to change the rendering of a
    server control. For example, the menu control
    does generate the UI in a TABLE structure that is
    somewhat verbose. This can be modified very
    simply to render the menu using Styled DIV
    elements instead.

13
ASP.NET 2.0
  • Themes Skins Separation of visual styling
    from markup and code
  • Change the site look dynamically using themes
  • Skins allow server controls to be styled at the
    server to have a consistent look from a central
    place
  • Web Parts Integrated set of controls to enable
    users to customize content, appearance and
    behavior directly from a browser.

14
ASP.NET 2.0
  • New Server Controls
  • Wizard simplifies the programming of a series
    of forms to direct the entry of user input.
  • TreeView
  • Menu
  • Login (set of controls)

15
SQL Server 2005
  • .NET Runtime Support Create stored procedure
    using a .NET language
  • XML Data Type Native support for XML as a data
    type and XQuery
  • Notification Services
  • Reporting Services (SSRS)
  • Integration Services (SSIS) Replaces DTS with
    enhanced services and extensible architecture

16
Tips Tricks
  • Use the TryParse static method of intrinsic types
    to parse a value without the need for try / catch
    blocks
  • Wrap disposable objects in a using to ensure the
    Dispose method is called
  • Consider using StateServer for user session
    management instead of InProc so changes to
    Web.config file do not cause the session data to
    be lost. Could be useful if debug/verbose logging
    is needed for a short period in tracking a
    problem. Performance is marginally slower

17
Tips Tricks
  • ASP.NET Menu must be slightly altered when
    exposed through Fortress (or any HTTPS to HTTP
    redirection). The menu control has some logic
    that cannot detect this and will cause a cross
    protocol error message on the client.
