Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Resources

Introductory Topics

• Short and sweet video that introduces some core ASP.NET 2.0 topics

• FritzOnion's Essential ASP.NET WebCasts on MSDN. Also see his supplemental materials for the WebCasts including PDF versions of the PowerPoint presentations, labs, and samples.

• Scott Mitchell's ASP.NET Data Access Tutorials

Data

• Data-Binding Expression Syntax on MSDN

• How ASP.NET databinding deals with Eval() and Bind() statements

• Simplified and Extended Data Binding Syntax in ASP.NET 2.0

• Customizing DataBinded Output in Templates

Tools

• Download for WebApplicationProjectSetup.msi. This is an update to Visual Studio 2005 which adds a new project type that allows you to create web projects that reference explicit files like Visual Studio 2003 did rather than the default 'include everything in the directory' behavior that is/was default with Visual Studio 2005. Drilling down into this a bit more you'll find some additional resources on Scott Guthrie's web pages on web projects. (His main web site is here). This is outdated if you have Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 as it is included in the Service Pack.
