Image Control and Alt Tags
ASP.NET 2.0 is making a big push to be more standards compliant. Just look in Visual Studio 2005 and you will see how to set the default compliancy to 3.02, 4.0, XHTML 4.01, etc. You can also set how your compliance will generate errors while you are working. I am still not a huge fan of worrying about all the details because most browsers are pretty cool with depricated markup at this point.
Anyway, I found a nice little blog entry on Michael Flanakin's blog about the Image control having a new property, GenerateEmptyAlternateText. If set to true it will add alt="" to your image. In ASP.NET 1.1 you could just set the AlternateText="", which I really started doing in the last year anyway.
So the moral of the story is this is a nice little property to help along the way. Plus I know there are many new properties for our old controls, so be on the look out as I will. I will post my thoughts and discoveries here.
