Hi,

Hello Jack Nielsen" no_spam,
Currently in ASP.net 2.0 it's possible only via JavaScript or with Flash
That's a really limited list ;-)
You can use any plug-in in ASP.NET just like you would in HTML pages.
That opens the possibility to use: Java (applets), Flash, SVG, VML (to
cite only a few).
If you don't want a plug-in to run on the client, that limits you to
JavaScript and CSS, commonly called DHTML.
To get really dynamic graphics in web u need to use Windows Presentaion
Framework (.NET 3.0)
That's actually Windows Presentation Foundation (ex Avalon), and it has
nothing to do with ASP.NET. It will run in IE only, using a presentation
host. It will be possible to include WPF applications (actually named
XBAP or XAML Browser Applications when running in the browser) in
IFRAMES to make them run in a HTML framework, but without communication
with the HTML unfortunately (at least in V1).
Later, a technology called WPF/E (everywhere) should be released, using
a plug-in too.
Note that WPF won't necessarily be more dynamic than Flash, but it
should allow 3D effect, Bitmap effects, etc...
HTH,
Laurent
