New Features in .NET Framework 4.5 RC

Today I was going through the new features of the .NET Framework 4.5; one of them I found is especially good for ASP.NET Developers.

ASP.NET 4.5 RC includes the following new features:

• Support for new HTML5 form types.

• Support for model binders in Web Forms. I have already posted articles for it:

  Definitely more articles on ASP.NET 4.5 are coming from me.

  These let you bind data controls directly to data-access methods, and automatically convert user input to and from the .NET Framework data types.

• Support for unobtrusive JavaScript in client-side validation scripts.

• Improved handling of client scripts through bundling and minification for improved page performance.

• Integrated encoding routines from the AntiXSS library (previously an external library) to protect from cross-site scripting attacks.

• Support for the WebSockets protocol.

• Support for reading and writing HTTP requests and responses asynchronously.

• Support for asynchronous modules and handlers.

• Support for the Content Distribution Network (CDN) fallback in the ScriptManager control.
