Learning ASP.Net 2.0

I’m currently trying to learn ASP.Net 2.0 using the new Visual Web Developer Express IDE. This is kind of different for me as I’ve been a classic ASP developer for many a year now and have always use a text editor for all my development. I’m guessing the best way to approach this is to take an existing ASP solution which I have previously written and try to rewrite it in .Net which is of course a completely different way of thinking. If anyone has any suggestions of good books/sites or anything I should be using then let me know.

Win2K3 sp1 upgrade

Just spent this afternoon trying to fix a server that threw up “Service Unavailable” errors on every website after installing Windows 2003 sp1. Just in case it helps someone else tear their hair out less, I suspect the problem is due to the ISAPI filter, ISAPI_Rewrite. According to this Helicon thread others have had the same issues. Basically I had to resort to uninstalling the service pack for now.

I’ll update if I manage to get it installed and ISAPI_Rewrite working with it.
