ASP.NET Whidbey site released
Yoehoe! Check out www.asp.net/whidbey to see some of the great features in ASP.NET v2.0 (currently in an alpha stadium). There are really a lot of cool features out there, visit Rob's blog on http://weblogs.asp.net/rhoward to get regular updates and a sneak preview of the great ASP.NET Cache Database Invalidation feature...
Some of the great new features:
- Concept of master pages
- Cache invalidation with databases
- A bunch of new controls such as Treeview, FileUpload, Wizard, ImageMap, BulletedList and so much more
- Dynamic images using the .asix handler and asp:DynamicImage
- New forms authentication building blocks (control to reset forgotten passwords and so on)
- Visual Studio .NET “ Whidbey“ enhancements:
- Built-in webserver based on “Cassini“ (cf. ASP.NET Web Matrix)
- Build apps without FPSE (just in a local folder)
- Support for code-behind as well as embedded script
- IntelliSense everywhere, also in script blocks (<% ... %>)
- Web site publishing
- Editing of FTP sites
- Better mobile support
- Browser validation support
- Better .NET Framework with support for ACLs etc
- Avoid a slow first time request (precompilation)
- Configuration tool to add users/roles, datasources, personalisation features once a site is released.
- Navigation with sitemaps (based on XML) and SiteMapPath control
Already experimenting with Whidbey on my machine... Enjoy the bits and bytes quite soon :)
