Why go ASP.Net 3.0?
-
People, I'm currently analising a ASP classic system and proposing a migration to ASP 2.0 .Net. However, I was trying to scope the advantages of skiping .Net 2.0 and going 3.0 right on, but I can't find any article or comparison chart that states the advantages and disadvantages of 3.0. Anyone can point me to such an article or give me some insight?

3.0 doesn't really changes anything from 2.0 for web development. If you are getting ready to begin development and still analyzing you may consider looking at 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 since it offers things that actually affect web devs. A few examples: -Linq (if you don't know find out, it's amazing.) -javascript debugging -split code/design screen like DreamWeaver (Finally!) -You get to pick the target framework (2.-, 3.0 or 3.5) -design time support for nested master pages If it's a fairly simple app though then 2.0 will more than suffice.

What about support to stuff like WCF?

3.0 will also give you better web services via WSE 3.0 so there are benefits of 3.0 over 2.0 that exist, just not much that is specific to web development. WSE and WCF are independent of the presentation. As your in development 3.5 / VS 2008 will be coming out and both 2.0/3.0 should be easy to upgrade so I don't think you can go wrong with either. It's just a preference for me to try a use the newest version of whatever on new projects.
