Via Mike Gunderloy, Dan Wahlin has posted up eight interesting ASP.NET 2.0 tips - well, seven and one that's really a VS.NET tip, but I digress...
 
They're worth checking out and tucking away on your delicious list for future reference - I'm tacking them up here so that I can refer to them later, myself.
 
Here's a summary:
  1. Maintain the position of the scrollbar on postbacks;
  2. Set the default focus to a control when the page loads;
  3. Set the default button that is triggered when the user hits the enter key;
  4. Locate controls easily (using "$" notation);
  5. Strongly-typed access to cross-page postback controls;
  6. Strongly-typed access to Master Page controls;
  7. Validation groups
  8. Finding control/variable names while typing code
