What's New for ASP.NET V2 Web Service Developers in the .NET Framework 2.0

Spotted the page on my travels yesterday and it's a great summary of what is new for Web Services Developers in ASP.NET V2 and .NET Framework V2 covering:-

1. Productivity
   1. Automatic data binding to data returned from Web services - proxy generates properties rather than fields!!
   2. Event-Based Asynchronous Programming Model for calling Web Services
   3. Type Sharing using the wsdl.exe /sharetypes switch
2. Extensibility
   1. Imperative serialization using IXmlSerializable
   2. Schema Importer Extensions
   3. Web Services Anywhere with the System.Net.HttpListener
3. Performance
   1. Pre-generation of serialization assemblies with SGEN.EXE
      Note you can also do this from Visual Studio 2005 B2 for a Windows Client Project: From Project Properties->Select Build Tab->Generate Serialization Assembly:On
   2. SOAP Reply Compression support for IIS 6.0 HTTP Compression
4. Interoperability and Standards
   1. Support for WS-I Basic Profile 1.0
   2. Support for W3C SOAP 1.2

Anyway check it out from here.
