Ok, so the trick to having a new battery is that you still have to charge it occasionally. But thankfully my notebook (paper one) and pencil still worked so I managed to pickup lots of nice tips from Scott Guthrie, all of which I'm sure you can find on his blog already.
However, my favorites were:
MaintainScrollPostition. Add this to your Page tag to have the browser restore the scroll position after a postback.
DefaultButton. You can set the default button for a Form or a Panel. Useful for a search panel at the top of the page.
OnClientClick. My JScript skills are more rusty than my ASP skills so I was very pleased to see that I can use this to do simple confirmation/cancellation dialogs. Eg: OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to bomb Beirut?');"
Cross Page Postbacks. I knew about this but sort of forgot it. Could be most useful for a search page. Not sure if you can specify a target though.
RSS Toolkit. I already have a job to add some content to a community sight from an RSS feed. The RSS Toolkit will make this pathetically simple.
And lots more. I can't wait to get back to work and implement a few of these on my current project.
I asked Scott at the end of the session if it would be ok to re-present his slides at a user group event and he was very agreeable to that so I think it's about time we had another meeting!
