I am curious to know that how we can make web site development much faster. I am specific about asp.net.
As far as my knowledge is concern, we can make asp.net website development faster by
Using Log4Net - to capture logging information Entity framework - to increase database operation speed.
So, is there other tools also which we can use to optimize the development process?
If you have used in any of your project, whether it was a small project or large.
I'm using this tools/libs (only free, I'm not mention about commercial like Resharper):
Ghostdoc - for generating comments - http://submain.com/products/ghostdoc.aspx (free)
Microsoft Enterprise Library - good library for validators, caching, logging and other purpose - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650466.aspx
Nhibernate (not Entity Framework if you want to use it in asp.net-2.0)
Fiddler 2.0 - external tool to analyze your page traffic (good for tracking problems in ajax, and improve performance)
Firexox + Firebug + Yslow - best way to test page performance and debug it
IETester - program for test your page on various versions of IE (sometimes you have to create page compatibile with IE 6-8 ;/) - http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
And if it is possible in your project - upgrade asp.net version to at least 3.5 - it could improve your coding speed a lot.
Something we are looking at using in future projects for doing layouts is the 960 Grid system.
jQuery, obviously, for better, easier JavaScript.
I like the Ajax Control Toolkit for ease of use of its' widgets.
Using ASP.NET MVC, NHibernate and a DI framework (StructureMap or Windsor).

Can anyone recommend any out-of-the-box solutions that can protect a "classic" ASP application against cross-site request forgery? I'm looking for suggestions from folks who have actual experience with the product. In particular, pros, cons, and implementation gotchas relating to the product would be very helpful.
The ASP application is legacy and is slated for decommission, so I'm hoping to find a solution that integrates easily and with a minimum amount of impact to the app.
Have you looked into using IIS level tools like UrlScan 3? We've used this with IIS 6 and classic ASP applications to successfully protect our systems from SQL injection and XSS vunerabilities. Plus it's FREE!
There's lots of helpful custom configuration tutorials if you want to enhance what is checked for. Read this article that covers specifically XSS.
We've also spent alot of time on re-developing our application code itself to protect against things like sql injection and people trying to post malicious scripts via url or form.
However UrlScan has provided a solid base for keeping our sites secure.
You can also look at products provided by Port80 Software.

Does anyone know of any good resources (books, articles, existing software, etc...) for learning how to implement A/B split testing in ASP.NET?
FairlyCertain is an AB Testing library for ASP.NET that's worth checking out. It drops seamlessly into your project and doesn't require any of the javascript voodoo that Google Website Optimizer uses (which kills your site's performance and SEO all in one shot).
I've been using it for a few of my projects for several months now with good success.
I have just written a short article describing a technique for doing split testing in ASP.Net MVC. You can check it out here
It will not take much work to make it work with traditional asp.net.
For anyone running into this post again, you may find this useful:
http://github.com/htayebi/AbTestMaster
It's an open source a/b testing framework for ASP.NET MVC which allows you to write the results either in sql database or csv file. You can download the nuget package or if interested, go through the code in github.
Google website optimizer?
http://www.google.com/websiteoptimizer/b/index.html
http://www.google.com/support/websiteoptimizer/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=14309
http://www.google.com/support/websiteoptimizer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=71976
I suggest you use Display Modes to achieve A/B testing.
But Display Modes just support simple problems by default.
If you already implement Display Modes in some other scenario. You can consider DisplayModeMatrix (just google it). It helps you use Display Modes more efficiency.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/DisplayModeMatrix/
Wth Display Modes you can simply delete/rename views after A/B testing to clean up your project.

I've seen a little buzz on the open-source ASP.NET Web Forms MVP project, but where can I get resources?
http://webformsmvp.com is pretty much stubbed out for now. This appears to be a compelling refresh of the Web Forms paradigm and bring into the fold things that make ASP.NET MVC great. I hear it's going to be put out there at MIX10 this week, but anyone have any useful sites/references?
Tatham Oddie, one of the WebForms MVP developers, was on Scott Hanselman's podcast not too long ago. You can find that episode here: A different way to do ASP.NET WebForms with WebFormsMVP. A PDF transcript is available there if you don't have time to listen to it.
Tatham's blog is at http://blog.tatham.oddie.com.au/ and his most recent post mentions the podcast and that they were quite about the project till now. The wiki page on the project's site that you linked to mentions the MIX 10 announcement.
You can find the video and slides of Tatham's and Damian's MIX10 session here (they do mention WebForms MVP near the end of the slides): Building Great Standards-Based Websites for the Big Wide World with Microsoft ASP.NET 4.
Apart from that, and the project's wiki page, I don't think there are any other resources. They suggest downloading the project demo to get familiar with it till documentation is available.
I am also not aware of this project - domain was registered long ago it seems but if you google for it there are not many results.
If you want to use MVP I can highly recommend you the following article by Billy McCafferty:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/architecture/ModelViewPresenter.aspx
Maybe you mix it up with what is extracted now from the ASP.NET MVC framework that goes into the "classic" ASP.NET - e.g. URL Routing functionality which you can read up there:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/10/13/url-routing-with-asp-net-4-web-forms-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx
Maybe this helps but I have not heard about any MVP project - and the one linked in your questions seems to have no relation to Microsoft (if you look it up on nic.com)

Does anyone know of any good sites to download good design templates (master pages, css files) for MVC projects, or ASP.NET projects in general? I've used the asp.net mvc gallery but the options there are pretty limited. I'm willing to pay for some if they are good.
http://www.templatemonster.com
cheap and pretty professional.
take a look at this project : http://mvccontribgallery.codeplex.com/
there are many ASP.NET MVC design samples inside this project.
I've easily fitted templates from the likes of Free CSS Templates in to numerous ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC sites - they are very clean HTML and CSS templates, often built around common elements, so that once you've built your MasterPage changing to another one is often as simple as updating the CSS reference and changing some images.
Obviously there's a bit more work if you want to swap from a horizontal to vertical navigation, but it's not that hard.
All of the best examples of websites built on ASP.NET are hosted on CodePlex. Take a look at BlogEngine.Net if you are wanting a good ASP.NET example website or if you are looking for a specific library or type of ASP.NET MVC site then you can use the sites search capabilities to find whatever you are looking for. CodePlex is the site for open source .Net technologies like ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET MVC futures is also hosted at codeplex if you are looking for additional features

I have a small site I developed for a friend that uses ASP.Net MVC and was wondering if I could hook it up to dotnetnuke or another CMS. Or is doing an admin site using dynamic data?
Here is a list of a few ASP.NET MVC based CMS's. However these are not based on the current release candidate but I think they are a pretty good start.
N2 Open Source ASP.NET CMS
http://n2cms.com/
Oxite
http://www.visitmix.com/Lab/Oxite
Hydrogen CMS
http://www.hydrogencms.net/Home.aspx
Take a look to Kooboo (kooboo.com). A simple to use and flexible CMS based upon ASP.NET MVC.
I wish there was a good CMS in MVC. However MVC isn't even RTM yet!
The thing with current .NET CMSs are that they don't handle URLs very well.
I'm hoping a CMS built on MVC will pop up at some point.
Try Composite C1. I have developed a few MVC modules for this. The good thing is that you can have both MVC and Web Form modules working side by side in this CMS.
Take a look at OpenSourceCms.com, they might have what you're looking for or the demos there might at least help lead you to an answer.
Oxite might be the closest to what you are after at the moment although I think it is more of a blog engine.
In my opinion, the only decent CMS is the one you write yourself. Just the features you want, with no inactive sections, but if you want to have a solid base to start with, try MVCwCMS (Please note I'm the author).
