Web Development in Visual Studio Major Improvements for Visual Studio 2005 FrontPage Server Extensions No Longer Required Now File System, IIS, FTP and FPSE Web Sites Directory Based Project System Model Edit any web anywhere (no project file required) Dramatic performance improvements with large web sites No longer required to build entire site into a single DLL Can now re-build just individual pages to test and run HTML Source Preservation & Formatting Options HTML Source Preservation & Formatting Options Tool will never re-format or mangle your code Precisely control formatting of your HTML

Web Development in Visual Studio Major Improvements for Visual Studio 2005 Intellisense Everywhere Code behind, Inline code, HTML, CSS, ASP.NET page directives, Web.config, XML Files, etc HTML Tag Navigator and Tag Outlining Easily view, navigate + explore complex pages XHTML Support with Pluggable Validation Engine Real-time validation intellisense as you type HTML Validation driven intellisense for client-side script Rich Master Page Design-Time Support Full WYSIWYG Editing Support

Web Development in Visual Studio Major Improvements for Visual Studio 2005 Enhanced ASP.NET Code-Behind Page Editing Cleaner and more OO code editing support Removes brittleness of current tool wire-up ASP.NET Single File Page Editing Support Full intellisense and debugging support Built-in ASP.NET Web Server (no IIS required) Only allows local browser requests Automatic shutdown when VS IDE is closed Publish Web Easily synchronize/publish webs to remote servers

What’s New for… …User Interface Design Master pages "Visual inheritance" for Web pages Applied declaratively or programmatically Themes and skins Theme controls, pages, and entire sites Applied declaratively or programmatically New controls (around 50 in all) Menus, TreeViews, Wizards, and more

Site Navigation …User Interface Design Navigation can be tedious to implement Especially if it relies on client-side script New controls simplify site navigation TreeView and Menu - Navigation UI SiteMapDataSource - XML site maps SiteMapPath - "Bread crumb" control Public API provides foundation for controls Provider-based for flexibility

Validation Groups …User Interface Design Validation control grouping using new ValidationGroup property, implemented by: Validation controls Button, LinkButton, and ImageButton Allows page to post back when validators in target group are satisfied Addresses limitation in ASP.NET 1.x

Web Parts …User Interface Design Framework for building portal-style apps Patterned after SharePoint Portal Server System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts Rich UIs with minimal code Edit page layout using drag-and-drop Edit appearance and behavior and more Seamless personalization “Connections” between web parts

Localization …User Interface Design Auto-culture handling Declarative mapping of Accept-Language headers to relevant thread properties Simplified resource handling Declarative mapping of control properties to resources using expressions Strongly typed programmatic resource loading and more and more ‘ ‘ Runat="server“> Runat="server“> <asp:Button ID="Button1" meta:resourcekey="Button1Resource1“runat="server" Text="Button" /> Text="Button" />

User Interface Design Demo Build our Master Page Implement some Navigation Have a look at Themes and Profiles Verify Validation Groups Web Parts

Profiles …Personalisation Store per-user data persistently Strongly typed access (unlike session state) On-demand lookup (unlike session state) Long-lived (unlike session state) Supports authenticated and anonymous users Accessed through dynamically compiled HttpProfileBase derivatives (HttpProfile) Provider-based for flexible data storage

What’s New for… …Data Access Data controls GridView - Like the DataGrid, only better DetailsView - Companion to GridView Data source controls Declarative 2-way data binding SQL cache dependencies Key cached items to database entities

Data Access Demo New Data Controls Declarative Data Binding Binding to Object Data Sources Paging, Sorting and Editing SQL Cache Dependencies

What’s New for… …Security Membership service Service for managing users and credentials Provider-based for flexible data storage Login controls Controls for logging in, creating new users, recovering lost passwords, and more if (Membership.ValidateUser (UserName.Text, Password.Text)) RedirectFromLoginPage (UserName.Text, RememberMe.Checked); Role Management service Combine forms authentication and role-based authorization without writing code!

Security Demo Membership & Logins Encrypting Config Sections

What’s New for… …Configuration and Admin Administrative tools ASP.NET MMC snap-in Web Site Administration Tool Configuration API Read/write access to configuration settings Simplified custom configuration sections Instrumentation Perf counters, health monitoring, and more

Code-Behind 2.0 …Behind the scenes Hello.aspx using System; partial class MyPage_aspx : Page { protected void OnTest (Object sender, EventArgs e) { Output.Text = "Hello, " + Input.Text; } } Hello.aspx.cs

Client Callbacks (Ajax) …Behind the scenes "Lightweight" postbacks Client-side callback manager transmits asynchronous XML-HTTP requests to server Server receives and processes the request, but does not re-render the page Callback manager receives the response and notifies the client via registered callback Requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher Great way to improve UI responsiveness

Client Callbacks Demo Client Callbacks

How Client Callbacks Work …Behind the scenes ClientCallback Manager Page Client initiates callback by calling function returned by GetCallback- EventReference Callback manager launches async XML-HTTP call to server Callback manager is notified that the call completed Client is notified that the call completed and handed the result ClientServer Page's RaiseCall- backEvent method is called
