2005 Differences in a nutshell?

I've now downloaded and installed vs.net 2005 and I see lots of
documentation and I see some isolated articles on new features. But is
there a what's new oriented set of docs anywhere? Something that
comprehensively covers differences from 2003 to 2005? vs.net, the
framework, for an asp.net developer?

Thanks,
T

The documentation has this information. It's not all in one place, though.

Thanks Kevin,
I'll start sequentially reading through the docs and I'm sure your are
right. I'll eventually come to see everything I need.

That's pretty much what I had to do, Tina.

"Introducing Microsoft Asp.Net 2.0" by Dino Esposito covers the ASP.NET
framework related changes (but does not really focus on VS 2005
changes). Check the table of contents out at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0735620245/ref=sib_dp_pop_toc/103-3360162-4015018?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S008#reader-page

FWIW, I think the new Intellisense features in VS 2005 (which work in
config files) increase productivity quite significantly.

Also, ASP.NET 2.0's use of partial classes to separate out the control
declaration code from your code behind files is nice too. At first you
might not realize it's happening.
