Some objects in beta1 are to be removed completely for beta2

Hi everyone, One of our guys went to TechEd in Canberra, Australia last week. He was told that some objects are to be removed completely from Beta1 and new objects added (I assume to replace the removed ones) in the beta 2 release of VS 2005. He told us to keep playing around with the beta 1, and not to start any real projects, as they may not work when beta 2 is released. I'm wondering if anyone knows which objects are on the chopping block? Cheers Luke

The ContentPager will be removed. There will be some more featrues added to the WebPart feature, for example all verbs will be in a dropdown menu. In Beta 2 Microsoft are adding the WebDisplayName attribute to control the name shown in the PropertyGridEditorPart. They are also adding the WebDescription attribute that will be shown as a tooltip in the property grid. The Membership feature will have more methods. The Localization's expression will be changed. There will be some more features added to the Login control in Beta 2. We will have the support for tracking number of login attempts as well as tracking number of password reset attempts. There will be some config settings so that we can indicate the number of failed login attempts, as well as a time window for tracking them (e.g. allow no more than N failed attempts in X minutes). There will also be an event that we can use to perform custom password validation. When CreateUser or ChangePassword is called, a password changed event will be raised - within this event we can implement additional custom policies. To find more changes etc, take a look at my blog.
