ASP.NET 2.0
Which brings us to ASP.NET 2.0. ASP.NET 2.0 builds upon ASP.NET 1.0 and 1.1 by providing a number of new features in addition to what already existed with ASP.NET 1.0. These features include
Master Pages and Skins
Declarative databinding
Provider pattern model
New cache features
Membership controls
Personalization controls
Support for Web Parts
Programmable configuration
Administration tools
New compilation model
All the features of ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 are still there. However, these new features make ASP.NET an even more compelling platform for creating Web sites. We'll visit all these features as we tour ASP.NET 2.0.
