In Chapter 2, I aim to give the reader an overview of the new features of ASP.NET 2.0. I will highlight
the new ASP.NET page architecture, new data controls, and code sharing features. I ask, “What is master
pages” and go on to talk about how master pages and themes aid in creating consistent Web sites. Later
on, I look at security controls and Web parts framework and illustrate how ASP.NET 2.0 enables 70%
code reduction. Finally, I will look at the new caching and administration and management functionali-
ties of ASP.NET 2.0.
