I needed to group data in data grids with summaries and headers. I found excellent example code for it here.
This is definitely the quick and dirty way to do it. I would rather have used some form of reporting but i haven't ventured into that realm of utility yet with my current project. Any suggestions or articles for this would be awesome. I was thinking about jasperreports and ireports but thats mainly geared towards java users.

If you haven't checked out the asp.net Ajax UpdateProgress control yet, do it!
Here's a tutorial on getting them to work with your update panels.

If you aren't using Atlas yet or have been holding off on getting it installed for your 2.0 projects. Don't wait anymore! I spent less than 30 minutes getting up and running, creating a project and using one of the controls.
This will guide you through installing in it. (11 minutes)

This will teach you how to add a few lines to your existing asp.net 2.0 project's web.config to take advantage atlas.

This is where you can get links to everything else.

Now they don't take you through how to enable async postbacks in your codebehind like you would want to do if you were doing your own ajax stuff. You don't have to even use the ICallbackEventHandler. I've been playing around with the update panel which is flat out awesome. Well almost, until you realize it destroys the history, but there's an ajax history control out there you can use to add history items, unfortunately its not automatic.

I can't say enough about this book. This book brings you through almost every new thing to ASP.NET 2.0 that you're going to need to know to get started. It presents it in a way that anyone who's slightly familar with 1.1 will be able to get it right away. It was the first programming book in a while that I read cover to cover.
Here's what's in it:
- Application architecture
- Code behind
- Master pages
- Themes and skins
- Navigation controls
- Data binding
- State management
- Security
- Web Parts
- Diagnostics
- Performance optimization
- Asynchronous tasks and pages
If you're going to work with asp.net 2.0. This is the place to start.
