ASP.Net 2.0, Web Application Project and some other cool stuff

I just started with a conversion from webproject written with ASP.Net 1.1 to ASP.Net 2.0 and I have to say things are running smoother then I expected - if you want to know more you should definitely read Visual Studio 2005 - Introduction to Web Application Projects - you can also start immediately with the download of Visual Studio Web Application Projects RC1. The introduction whitepaper describes the different steps you should follow while performing an upgrade:
  • Step 1: Install the Visual Studio 2005 Web Application Project Preview

  • Step 2: Back Up Your Visual Studio .NET 2003 Projects

  • Step 3: Open and Verify your Visual Studio .NET 2003 Web Project

  • Step 4: Migrate the Solution to Visual Studio 2005 - a migration wizard automatically opens when you open the solution file with the Visual Studio 2005

  • Step 5: Verify in Visual Studio 2005 - I only had to remove some naming conflicts as well as some problems with code behind files of Crystal Reports

  • Step 6: Covert Code-Behind Classes to Partial Classes

  • Step 7: Examine and Resolve XHTML Compliance Issues

    • Scott also announced that the final version of the Web Application Project will be available quite soon.

    Now, I can finally all the great ASP.Net features such as master pages, the new gridview controls and the new provider model. For more info, check out the links listed below.
