Fundamentals:	ASP.NET Web Sites and Web Applications ASP.NET gives us two different project models: Web Sites and Web Applications. The discussion will focus on the differences between the project types and why you may want to choose one over the other.
Main Topic:	Deep Dive into the AJAX UpdatePanel Rob Windsor, ObjectSharp Consulting www.objectsharp.com The ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, which provide the core AJAX functionality, include a control called the UpdatePanel which allows developers to add AJAX-like functionality to a page. By wrapping portions of ASP.NET pages in an UpdatePanel, you automatically transform postbacks originated by page controls to lightweight, AJAX postbacks. In this session we will do a thorough examination of the UpdatePanel, going from the basic uses to interacting with requests from client-side JavaScript. The demonstrations include: an introduction to the UpdatePanel, using external triggers, using the UpdateProgress control, handing multiple postback requests, and handling server errors.
