Server Controls
One of the biggest shifts in the creation of Web applications in VB .NET is the idea of the server control. When teaching students about Visual InterDev over the past few months, I've explained that although the product Visual InterDev is going away, its functionality is being added to the .NET Framework. This means that any language that targets the Framework will have the capability to create Web applications. This might give some of you nightmares, but realize that this means you could write high-performance, dynamic Web applications in COBOL.NET. The server controls are a key component of the Framework, and they are one of the main tools that will be used by any .NET language in order to create Web applications.
