For those of you that are ASP.NET 2.0 junkies (myself included), you can check out this white paper describing the layout, usage and development of the new Provider Model model within ASP.NET.  The white paper has 9 sections with this break down:

  • Introduction to the Provider Model
  • Membership Providers
  • Role Providers
  • Site Map Providers
  • Session State Providers
  • Profile Providers
  • Web Event Providers
  • Web Parts Personalization Providers
  • Custom Provider-Based Services
  • Hands-on Custom Providers: The Contoso Times

    • I've yet to look through them all, but from reading the intro, this looks pretty sweet!
