Future of ASP.NET?

[Wookie]

I have to write a section on where the ASP.NET might evolve to: possibly
covering emerging ideas/theory, new uses, approaches or applications or the
potential of integration with other topic areas.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

Maybe this will give you some ideas :

"Visual C# Developer Center : Future Versions" :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/future/

"C# 3.0 introduces several language extensions that build on C# 2.0
to support the creation and use of higher order, functional style class libraries.

The extensions enable construction of compositional APIs that have equal
expressive power of query languages in domains such as relational databases and XML."

C# 3.0 features extension methods, lambda expressions, type inference,
anonymous types and the .NET Language Integrated Query.

Since what ASP.NET 3.0 will be closely related to its language's
functionalities, you could maybe project some application for its new features.

Take a look at AJAX , ATLAS technology. You can find some info :

If you're looking in to Atlas, don't miss out on
this video and sample code by Dan Wahlin:

Not about Atlas but about AJAX.Net ( a bit diffrent library and not touched
by MS ):
this presentation really impressed me:

re:

Dan's presentation was about Atlas, not Ajax.
Believe me, Atlas will do a lot more in ASP.NET than Ajax ever will.

However, the best documentation/demo for Ajax in ASP.NET
was written by our fellow frequenter here, Karl Seguin :

I know that Atlas is going to be something more then just another Ajax
library. But I meant the project that Scott developed looked really cool. I
didn't believe that I am looking at website.

It looks like the web and windows world will be merging a bit, if Microsoft
has its way.
I suggest you research the Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly
codenamed Avalon):
