What's new in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1?
SP1 advances the art of application development
The new ADO.NET Entity Framework feature in SP1 offers developers a model-based
paradigm and a rich, standards-based framework for creating data-oriented applications
shared across multiple applications and platforms. The separation of presentation,
data, and business logic used in concert with a single data model will enable developers
to spend less time writing plumbing code and more time refining business logic.
SP1 makes data-driven programming easier
SP1 offers developers support for ASP.NET Dynamic Data, which provides a rich scaffolding
framework that enables rapid data-driven development. Since ASP.NET takes care of
creating the presentation layer, a fully functional Website is output and ready
for customization without the developer writing a single line of code. Further,
with ADO.NET Data Services, Web developers can create RESTful Web 2.0-style applications
that have better server scalability and improved caching support.
SP1 is the fastest and easiest way to deploy Windows applications
With the .NET Framework Client Profile, a small subset of the Framework that powers
client applications, developers can offer their end users a dramatically streamlined
and rapid application download experience. In addition, improvements in SP1 result
in dramatic reductions in cold start times, allowing developers to serve a broader
set of customers with varying hardware profiles.
