SUMMARY

In this chapter we've looked at two very important topics: how the look and feel of sites can be implemented in ASP.NET 2.0 and how navigation around those sites can be implemented.

We've seen how a great deal of time-consuming work has been removed by the introduction of master pages, allowing the site layout and default implementation to be easily centralized. Not only does this make it easier to develop individual pages, but since layout and code can be centrally contained, it also eases maintenance and reduces potential errors.

We've also seen how ASP.NET 2.0 supplies a comprehensive architecture for site navigation. The introduction of the SiteMapDataSource and the underlying flexibility of providers allow site structure to be easily defined and used within Web pages. By placing this navigation within a master page you also have the simplicity of having to define the navigation in only a single place.

Now it's time to move on to another important topicsecurity, and how to identify users and control what they can do once they reach your site.
