What's New in ASP.NET
- Navigation. ASP.NET’s navigation framework includes a mechanism for defining site maps that describe the logical arrangement of pages in a website. It also includes navigation controls (such as trees and breadcrumb-style links) that use this information to let users move through the site.
- Data source controls: The data source control model allows you to define how your page interacts with a data source declaratively in your markup, rather than having to write the equivalent data access code by hand. Best of all, this feature doesn’t force you to abandon good component-based design—you can bind to a custom data component just as easily as you bind directly to the database
- Themes: Themes allow you to define a standardized set of appearance characteristics for web controls. Once defined, you can apply these formatting presets across your website for a consistent look.
- Master pages: Master pages are reusable page templates. For example, you can use a master page to ensure that every web page in your application has the same header, footer, and navigation controls.
- Profiles: Profiles allow you to store user-specific information in a database without writing any database code. Instead, ASP.NET takes care of the tedious work of retrieving the profile data when it’s needed and saving the profile data when it changes.
- Web parts: One common type of web application is the portal, which centralizes different information using separate panes on a single web page. Web parts provide a prebuilt portal framework complete with a flow-based layout, configurable views, and even drag-and-drop support.
