Smart Tasks When you include a rich ASP.NET control in your Web application, there can be a large number of properties to configure for that control. Visual Studio 2005 provides a helper wizard for each control that will make your job much easier. When you drag a new control onto the designer surface, the Common Tasks editor for that control automatically pops up. You can use the Common Tasks list to quickly customize a control's properties. When you add a GridView control to a page, for example, the Common Task list lets you quickly specify the data source, columns, and whether sorting or paging is enabled for the GridView. You can also use the auto format option to quickly modify the look and feel of the whole component. Rapidly complete the most common configuration tasks for each control using the Smart Tasks wizard
