ASP.NET 3.5, TechEd Europe 2007, Day 2

Sunday, November 11, 2007 7:43:17 PM (W. Europe Standard Time, UTC+01:00)

In part 2 of “Building a Complete Web Application Using ASP.NET ‘Orcas’ and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Part 2 of 2)” Omar Khan presented new controls in ASP.NET. Most controls, such as ScriptManager and ControlExtender, come from the AJAX library, formerly called the ATLAS framework. Also the normal ASP.NET controls have improved. ListView replaces the GridView and a LinkButton can be used in conjunction with Command to switch a ListView to edit mode. Some points to note are:

  • ListView, LayoutTemplate, ItemTemplate (support in Designer)
  • LinkButton uses a Command to change a ListView to edit mode
  • DataPager
  • ASP.NET AJAX
  • Intellisense for JavaScript, plus documentation and code documentation
  • ScriptManager in ASP enables Intellisense for referenced JavaScript files
  • AJAX can reference .asmx services and creates proxy classes
  • ControlExtender allows a change to behaviour of controls, e.g. Textbox + DatePicker
