4. Manage state of an application by using client-based and server-based state management options.
5. Maintain state of an application by using database technology.
6. Implement globalization and accessibility.
7. Use the SiteMap Web server control to display a representation of a Web site’s navigation structure.
8. Use validation controls to perform Web Forms validation.
9. Write an ASP.NET handler to generate images dynamically for display on a Web page.
