SilverLight

Microsoft’s Silverlight is another exciting client technology for the Web. Silverlight
allows for an even greater user experience delivered through the browser. You use it to
create media-rich, highly interactive experiences. Silverlight requires a browser add-on
(or plug-in). It works with Windows, Mac, and Linux in a wide variety of browsers.
Silverlight does not ship with Visual Studio 2008; however, the Silverlight extensions
for Visual Studio are available as a plug-in to the tool.

Powerful .Net Framework 3.5 new features I)

Time Zone Additions—There are two new types that help you work with applications that need to understand multiple time zones. These classes are System.DateTimeOffset and TimeZoneInfo. The DateTimeOffset structure represents an exact point in time. The offset indicates how the time differs from UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). You use this new class when you need precision and date/time arithmetic. The TimeZoneInfo class is a welcome enhancement that represents a date and time in a given time zone. You can use this class to reliably represent the same date and time in any other time zone. In addition, you can use the class to create custom time zones if needed. . Peer-to-Peer Networking Support—The .NET Framework finally has its own peer-to-peer networking support. This can be found in the System.Net.PeerToPeer namespace.

DataPager control in ASP .NET 3.5

Another new control in 2008 that we’d like to highlight is the DataPager control. This control allows you to manage the paging of data and the UI associated with that paging. You can use this control by itself or embed it as part of another control you create. You can associate other, data-bound controls to a DataPager by using the DataPager’s PagedControlID property (the given control must implement the IPageableItemContainer interface). You have full control over the customization, layout, and behavior of the DataPager. Figure 1.17 shows the DataPager Fields editor (accessed from the control’s Tasks window). Notice that you can set appearance and behavior for all items associated with a given DataPager layout.

Enhancing the Web Developer's Productivity with Visual Studio 2008

The vast majority of applications built these days involve some semblance of a web component—be it a full-blown browser-based, web application; a smart client that works across the Web; a web service; or otherwise. In fact, the line between a traditional rich client and a web application is blurring. Technologies such as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), Web Services, Smart Clients, and XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) have ensured this. You can now build rich user experiences as your needs dictate. Of course, Microsoft has remained suitably focused on expanding Visual Studio’s capabilities with respect to web development.
