# IVBUG meeting this week: New Features and Changes in ASP.NET 2.0

By Roy Osherove February 1, 2005

**Historical article** · Originally published February 1, 2005; technical details may be outdated.

_"Continuing in our series of presentations on some of the new tools and technologies that are part of the VS 2005 releases due to arrive in the coming year, Noam King, CTO of Sela University,  will take us through the highlights of ASP.NET 2.0._  

 _There is really a lot to cover on this subject.  ASP.NET introduces additions, extensions, and outright changes to how we develop ASP.NET applications.  Noam will cover the following topics:_

- _Introduction to ASP.NET 2.0 and VS2005_
- _A bit about architecture and changes in application and page objects._
- _Master Pages_
- _Personalization_
- _Building a site with Web Parts._
- _Administration_
- _Skins and Themes_
- _Handling data with ASP.NET 2.0 (without getting into ADO.NET 2.0)_

_As always, we'll have our special "Hatzilu" session at our meeting. So please come prepared to discuss your most frustrating problems (or at least some of them!) and to share some of your own techniques and solutions that you have found useful in your applications.

Please remember that it is important for me to know as accurately as possible how many people will be attending each meeting, so that I can arrange for the right amount of food and the proper setup of the chairs.  Please confirm your attendance.

See you there !!
