New Features in ASP.NET 3.5 Service Pack 1

There are several new features that are included with ASP.NET 3.5 Service Pack 1. This Wrox Blox reviews these new features. These include Support History and the Back Button with ASP.NET AJAX, making your AJAX pages faster through script combining, and the ability to easily create web pages that users can perform basic CRUD operations with named Dynamic Data. In addition, this Wrox Blox covers routing with Web Forms—Routing is a part of ASP.NET MVC that should be out in 2009. (It is not exclusively the domain of MVC.)   Service Pack 1 includes support for routing. In addition, this Wrox Blox covers jQuery—While not technically a part of Service Pack 1, Microsoft released support for jQuery within ASP.NET at the same approximate time as Service Pack 1.
