I don't know if you have seen Microsoft's Virtual Labs or not, but they are top notch. I just got done taking the Virtual Lab on ASP.NET 2.0 and it really gives you a simple to follow crash course on using ASP.NET 2.0. The particular section I focused on was devoted to setting up data sources, using the DropdownList, DataGrid and DetailsView controls. While this wasn't quite new information for me, it did give me some new hints as to how I should be dealing with data sources in some of my upcoming projects using ASP.NET 2.0.

Microsoft Virtual Labs are an excellent way to learn and do interactively, especially for those like me who learn more visually than anything.  Honestly I would rather have to hand-write the code than watch some instructor do it or have it pre-written. I guess you could label me a hands-dirty developer. I don't mind. No, really, go for it, I don't mind.
