Microsoft today announced the (out-of-band) release of the ASP.NET Chart Control for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. The ASP.NET Chart Control is a free, full-featured chart control package which enables developers to easily add rich data visualization to ASP.NET and Windows Forms applications.
Acquired from Dundas Software, the industry leader in .NET charting solutions, the ASP.NET Chart Control is a highly comprehensive, powerful, and easy-to-use solution for adding simple to advanced interactive charts and graphs to applications with minimal coding. Similar functionality resulting from the technology acquisition from Dundas was released earlier in SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Report Builder 2.0.
Releasing this technology in the .NET Framework will save developers effort by allowing their end users to quickly setup and visually configure charts without writing a single line of code. Until now, customers had to purchase this capability from 3rd party vendors or spend a great deal of effort developing their own controls.
Overview of Features
* Comprehensive list of 2D and 3D chart types
* Multiple Chart Areas, Legends and Titles
* Highly customizable visual appearance
* Built-in data manipulation and formulas
* Annotations
* Axis scale breaks
* Smart label positioning
Samples Environment
Microsoft provides a sample environment for ASP.NET Chart Control geared towards getting developers started fast. The sample environment includes over 200 samples for both ASP.NET and Windows Forms and include the C# Source Code for each sample. The samples enable developers to see the Chart Controls in action as well as use the code as templates. Samples to get your development started are available on MSDN.

Asp.NET Development Benefits
Microsoft .Net Application Development
Microsoft .NET is a technology that connects information, people, systems and devices. .NET connects a broad range of personal and business technologies, enabling the access and use of important information, whenever and wherever it is needed. Built on XML Web service standards, .NET enables both new and existing applications to connect with software and web application to the services across platforms, applications and programming languages.
Benefits of Asp.net
* Any application can talk to a host of other applications, running on diverse technology and hardware, in turn lowering the operation costs. Consider this one case, wherein the stock management system is connected to the accounting system, resulting in ample savings.
* Bring on one platform all your internal applications, your partners as well as your customers.
* Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET and the .NET Framework supports varied languages, in turn helping developers to focus on work at hand instead of trying to learn a new language that can do the job.
* Employees can look for updated information on desktop applications, internet browsers or even mobile devices.
* Optimum speed of development
* Ability of cross platform migration
* High Class library, features, controls
* ASP.NET Framework supports varied languages
* Reliability
* Easy configurations of applications
* Vast and enriched

Advanced ASP.NET AJAX Server Controls For .NET Framework 3.5
ASP.NET AJAX server controls can encapsulate even the most powerful AJAX functionality, helping you build more elegant, maintainable, and scalable applications. This is the first comprehensive, code-rich guide to custom ASP.NET AJAX server controls for experienced ASP.NET developers. Unlike other books on ASP.NET AJAX, this book focuses solely on server control development and reflects the significant improvements in ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX and the latest Visual Studio 2008 features for streamlining AJAX development
Adam Calderon and Joel Rumerman first review the core Microsoft AJAX Library and JavaScript techniques needed to support a rich client-side experience. Next, they build upon these techniques showing how to create distributable AJAX-enabled controls that include rich browser-independent JavaScript client-side functionality. The authors thoroughly explain both the JavaScript and .NET aspects of control development and how these two distinct environments come together to provide a foundation for building a rich user experience using ASP.NET AJAX.
Create object-oriented cross-browser JavaScript that supports .NET style classes, interfaces, inheritance, and method overloading
Work with components, behaviors, and controls, and learn how they relate to DOM elements.

What's new in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1?
SP1 advances the art of application development
The new ADO.NET Entity Framework feature in SP1 offers developers a model-based paradigm and a rich, standards-based framework for creating data-oriented applications shared across multiple applications and platforms. The separation of presentation, data, and business logic used in concert with a single data model will enable developers to spend less time writing plumbing code and more time refining business logic.
SP1 makes data-driven programming easier
SP1 offers developers support for ASP.NET Dynamic Data, which provides a rich scaffolding framework that enables rapid data-driven development. Since ASP.NET takes care of creating the presentation layer, a fully functional Website is output and ready for customization without the developer writing a single line of code. Further, with ADO.NET Data Services, Web developers can create RESTful Web 2.0-style applications that have better server scalability and improved caching support.
SP1 is the fastest and easiest way to deploy Windows applications
With the .NET Framework Client Profile, a small subset of the Framework that powers client applications, developers can offer their end users a dramatically streamlined and rapid application download experience. In addition, improvements in SP1 result in dramatic reductions in cold start times, allowing developers to serve a broader set of customers with varying hardware profiles.

Using URL Rewriting With Web Parts
Web parts are a great new system for allowing personalization of web sites by end users that was introduced in ASP.NET 2.0. However, it isn't useful when used in combination with URL rewriting.
URL rewriting allows you to respond to requests from dynamic URLs by redirecting the handling to a different .ASPX file on your server. This can be used to make your URLs more readable and improve your search engine optimization (SEO), instead of using long query parameters.
Some example systems for implementing this are UrlRewriter.net and UrlRewriting.net.
When you use web parts in combination with a rewritten URL, the web parts will all be shared by all of the URLs that are rewritten to the same .ASPX file. This library corrects this by replacing the WebPartManager with RewritableWebPartManager and the SqlPersonalizationProvider with RewritableSqlPersonalizationProvider.
It also provides additional functionality in the form a personalization levels. This allows you to share common personalization settings amonst multiple URLs. When a user is browsing, if no personalization is specified at a particular level, the personalization defined at a higher level is displayed instead. For example, in a web store scenario you can allow the store operators to provide shared personalization that all users will see. Using levels, they can set personalization
that will appear on all item pages, such as a disclaimer, and then override that personalization with a different disclaimer on a specific item's page.
