Re: What are the advantages of .NET 2.0 over NET 1.1 ?

That's an interesting application of the technology. I'd never
considered that. I'd always thought about them the way that Jon
mentioned: the ability to separate machine-generated and hand-generated
parts of the same class. I'm most interested in it for use with
strongly-typed datasets: being able to build them into business objects
by adding your own hand-tooled code without worrying about it being
clobbered if the strongly-typed dataset is regenerated because of a
schema change. It just seemed a nice idea to keep things straight.

Nullable types will be a big plus: the ability to (finally) handle
what's really in the database rather than having to fudge things like
DateTime by using DataTime.MinValue to represent null and such
nonsense.

Generics will be the heavy hitter. I've lost count of the classes I've
written that would be simpler with generics, plus I'd get compile-time
type checking to boot. (I've also lost count of the hours spent
debugging problems that I could have found at compile time if I had
generics to use.)
