Summary

ASP.NET 2.0 introduces several features designed to simplify user interface development for Web applications. In the past, developers had to resort to third-party techniques and controls to create templatized, skinnable sites with full navigation features. Now it is easy to build identical sites with features provided natively in ASP.NET. In addition, each of these features is built in a modular, pluggable way so that replacing part or all of the implementation is entirely possible.
