Tonight was a success at the Utah .NET User Group.  Unfortunately we were not being able to get a reminder out to the group due to the site being down (more accurately the DNS server was down, but same difference in that it was inaccessible).  We had a pretty small turnout and a quiet crowd today, but it was fun nonetheless.

I had the opportunity to present on developing ASP.NET controls.  We focused on how to create UserControls and WebControls.  We talked about properly deriving from WebControl, rendering content and controls, utilizing embedded resources (a new .NET 2.0 feature which is totally awesome - I'll blog more about it in a future post), creating ITemplate-based controls server-side.  I've posted the code online if you'd like to download it here.

I'm glad for the faithful who showed up and had a great time and for TEKSystems for sponsoring this month's meeting.
