Whidbey ASP.NET

Just in case everyone hasn't seen this already. Here is some info and screenshots of what ASP.NET will be like in Whidbey.

Also, although its not specific to ASP.NET, now that I think I understand how generics work I must say things are looking good for the next version of VS. No more rewriting the same damn collection type object.

Ya, I read the C# spec for the next version (boy am I a geek or what). Anyway, I was trying to understand generics also. It looks to be very useful in some situations where you need that. I am just now understanding what they are for, so I am slow to find actual uses in my code yet, but I am sure they will come now that I am aware of what they are.

I like the way the compiler can type check collections though, it will help out complex code a lot. Plus, you only have to write one class and pass the type you want it to hold....lot less code for type safety. Pretty cool.

Wow,
After looking at all the new features they are adding to the asp.net side of things for Whidbey, I am not happy with 2003 anymore. There are so many new things that will make my life easier, I just can't believe it. When is the official release for it?

I got to get my hands on a Alpha version soon. Hopefully MS partners can get the Alpha. I will be asking about it.

Yeah I know what you mean, I thought 2003 was the sh*t before checking everything that is coming. Like today when I found that article about generics I was making a macro to write my collections for me and I thought 'this will be useless next year'.
