Next ASP.NET Version - Incremental or Major?

I understand that .NET Framework 3.5 is currently in Beta-2, with initial
TRM expected sometime near the end of this year, with the big-time launch in
February.

Question: Are there major changes to ASP.NET that we can expect? Or would
this be considered as an "incrementa l" update.

I'm asking because I'm about to launch a major refactoring effort on a
large/complex ASP.NET 1.1 Web application... just wondering if I should go
with 2.0 right now or if it would be smart to wait for 3.5. Is there
anything in 3.5 (ASP.NET-specific) that is worth waiting for?

Thanks.

Both 3.0 and 3.5 are additions - 'around' 2.0.
So 2.0 code still will work the same - it just adds many new items

I'd say it leans slightly toward the minor incremental side of the scale.

If I had a dollar for every time Microsoft renames an existing technology, or
comes out with a name for something "new" that's confusing to developers, you
would not be reading my posts here.

I'm assuming, then, that you are saying that the 3.5 version of the
Framework is NOT a major upgrade (not like, for example, the upgrade from
1.1 to 2.0)... Yes?

Yes.

Wait for the .Net Framework 4.0 for a major upgrade.

HI, I had a question on incremental backup. We had an incremental backup every weekend. We did full backup every other week. That is one week incremental + full , the other week is incremental only. My question is for the first weekend incremental backup, it took for example 1h, but the second weekend incremental took almost 3 hours. It seems always this way, so I suppose it is not related to the data change. And we almost had some...

Hi, I am trying to activate incremental link using VC7 (.NET 2003) on a pretty big project (executable size is more than 100Mb, and it gets linked from several dozen of libraries and object files of different sizes - from less than 1Mb to tens of MBs). The problem is that option /incremental:yes does not have any effect on the link time. I observe that the linker removes existing executable and re-links it from scratch.

Okay, I know ASP.NET 2.0 isn't out yet. But I'm still wondering if there is any known timetable - rough as it may be - for the next major upgrade to ASP.NET beyond 2.0. I'm not talking service pack or patches that would be likely called 2.1 - I'm asking about something of the magnitude of the change from 1.1 to 2.0. Any ideas or educated guesstimates?
