Navigation controls: These display site map paths (bread crumb trails) and menus
to allow users to navigate a site.
Login controls: These have built-in support for forms authentication, providing a set
of web controls for the authentication process in your web sites.
Web part controls: These allow you to build a modular user interface (UI) within the
browser that provides the user with the ability to modify the content and appearance
of a web page. These controls have been created to be used with Microsoft Share
Point 2003 and then have been included in ASP.NET 2.0.
Mobile controls: These are for applications that render web content on portable
devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and smart phones.
The power of server controls is best demonstrated by example. Fire up Visual Studio
2005, and create a new ASP.NET web site called AJAX2. Drag a calendar from the Standard
Controls tab of the Toolbox to the design surface of the Default.aspx page that was created
for you by Visual Studio. You should have something that resembles Figure 2-1.
