You may have read some of the many books and magazine articles previewing the upcoming features. You might even have seen a live demo at a conference or user group meeting. But how well do you really know ASP.NET 2.0? Did you know, for example, that those wonderful $ expressions used to declaratively load connection strings and other resources can be extended to create $ expressions of your own? Did you realize that the new ASP.NET 2.0 client callback manager provides an elegant solution to the problem of keeping browser displays in sync with constantly changing data on the server? Did you know that you can encrypt sections of Web.config to prevent connection strings and other potentially injurious data from being stored in plaintext?
Jeff Priose talks about following five undiscovered features on ASP.NET 2.0 in his article,
- Client Callback
- Custom expression builder
- Encrypted Configuration Sections
- Auto culture handling.
- Custom Web events..
I am exploring custom web events for monitoring asp.net applications now... Soon you can except a blog on this topic....
