what is the productivity of ASP.NET 2.0

Productivity is all about quality, quantity and speed, means how early you deliver the product to the client or release it on production. ASP 2.0 and visual studio increase development productivity as compare to previous versions.

ASP.NET 2.0 includes everything from new controls to new subsystems, and it incorporates major structural changes that change the way that we'll use ASP.NET. ASP.NET 2.0 features new subsystems that handle common problems (including identifying the user and managing user preferences), convert typical Web development tasks into drag-and-drop controls, provide a more flexible compilation model with simpler deployment, and deliver databinding controls that simplify data access and retrieval. All of these changes have one effect: to make you more productive.

hink "more" rather than "different." Much of what you know about using ASP.NET development remains the same—you just have a lot more to learn. But don't panic—Visual Studio 2005 includes a wizard that should convert our ASP.NET 1.* Web sites to ASP.NET 2.0. It won't be without pain, but most sites should convert with a minimum of programmer intervention.
