Update Yourself with Visual studio 2005 and ASP.Net 2.0

[BabuLives]

Hai Group,

Here we will discuss about new Updation that is coming with ASP.Net and
Visual Studio 2005..
Already there will be more guys who will be using the ASP.Net 2.0 and
Visual Studio 2005,I think u can share your knowledge

with us bcoz that will really help guys like us who didnt Upgrade our
VS.Net 2003 yet...
This September 29th i have attended the ISV Seminar conducted by
Microsoft in Mumbai..
The Topic are...

Visual Studio 2005
Windows Forms 2.0(On DataBinding)
Reporting Services
ASP.Net 2.0

Here With this i'll list some features which i Grasped from the
Seminar...Many features that are new was really surprised me

so much!!!and so i want to know more...

The Points am listing here is concise and if anyone in the group can
explain it more clearly pls do reply with this mail...

Their Focus went on DataBinding....

Partial Class:

Splitting the implementation of single class to several files...which
on compilation will give a single class...This is used

for Seperating the Designer Code from our code..ie the code which
Visual studio.net designer develops is in separate file say

WebForm1.Designer.cs and the code which we are going to write is on
WebForm.aspx.cs.

I think we already had one discussion about partial Class in our
group...

TableAdapter:

To provide Communication between database and our application..Its
having some advantages like strongly typed....Can be

reusable...can give filter conditions..etc...for more info see the
topic...

http://groups.google.com/group/TechdotNetIndia/browse_thread/thread/de7b216e0f93ece4/dfcf20e397c54be7#dfcf20e397c54be7

if we are dragging TableAdapter from Toolbox it is adding a tool bar
for navigating the records!!!!!!!!!!

BindingSource:

It Will act as a broker between control and the real datasource...So
obviously we can filter data here also...

Untill now for databinding we just bind datasource to
control(DataGrid...or Even textBox) but here we will use this binding

source in between them...

Themes and Skins..

Object DataBinding:

Now We can also Perform Object databinding!!!!(Like binding from
database) .

The Surprising Part is We can do all this fuctionalites without writing
a single line of code using Visual studio.Net!!!!!

Master-Detail DataBinding:

I think Most of you are familiar with master-detail databinding...We
can perform without writing single line of code...

ASP.Net 2.0:

No Need To install IIS in our system separately...Visual studio 2005
has IIS in it for developing Web Application...

There are around 85 New Controls....

Databinding is also handy..every thing is inbuild with visual studio
2005..
In Datagrid Edit/Update/Delete/Add New/Sort We noneed to worry about
the postbacks...Visual studio 2005 does everything

automatically without a single line of code...

Safer Coonection string..ie..it is encrypted in Web.Config(Already
discussed in our group..)

Object Databinding

Master Pages

Improved DataCaching..

if u guys know more,Pls post it so that everyone in the group will be
knowing it.....

Expecting to learn more from u guys...

Regards,

Satheesh

There no DataGrid control on the Toolbox?

 

The DataGrid control has been superseded by the GridView control, which can do everything the DataGrid control does and more. The GridView control features automatic data binding; auto-generation of buttons for selecting, editing, and deleting; automatic sorting; and automatic paging. There is full backward compatibility for the DataGrid control, and pages that use the DataGrid will continue to work as they did in version 1.0 of ASP.NET.

Can I still use the DataList and Repeater controls?

 

Absolutely. You can use them the way you always have. But note that the controls have been enhanced to be able to interact with data source controls and to use automatic data binding. For example, you can bind a DataList or Repeater control to a SqlDataSource control instead of writing ADO.NET code to access the database.

 

What's the difference between login controls and Forms authentication?

 

Login controls are an easy way to implement Forms authentication without having to write any code. For example, the Login control performs the same functions you would normally perform when using the FormsAuthentication class — prompt for user credentials, validate them, and issue the authentication ticket — but with all the functionality wrapped in a control that you can just drag from the Toolbox in Visual Studio. Under the covers, the login control uses the FormsAuthentication class (for example, to issue the ticked) and ASP.NET membership (to validate the credentials). Naturally, you can still use Forms authentication yourself, and applications you have that currently use it will continue to run.
