ASP.NET Web Server Controls

I thought this chapter had some very good insights on how some of the standard web server controls (ASP.Net 1.0, 1.1) have changed. Key changes that caught my eye:
  • Hot key functionality (accelerator keys). This should provide for better navigation.
  • Mode attribute in the literal control - This should really help with code examples.
  • A great reference to the autocomplete attribute is in this chapter. Great for those of us who don't like to type.
  • Postback URL Attribute on buttons...Awesome...

Also there are several great examples of coding controls such as checkbox lists, calendars, and the table server control. I am especially going to look at the new OnClientClick attribute for buttons.

Enjoy
