There was a couple of things I didn't show you yesterday but didn't have a good connection, namely :
ASP.NET AJAX
The ASP.NET site at http://www.asp.net in particular the library of ASP.NET AJAX controls that are available to you for your ASP.NET web pages :
http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/Accordion/Accordion.aspx
Silverlight
Resources can be found at : http://silverlight.net
A good example of a site developed with Silverlight is at :
http://premium.quiksilverlive.com/
There are lots of sample applications at http://silverlight.net/showcase/Default.aspx
Accessibility
Regarding the accessibility guidelines that is mandated for use in government applications it seems like a MUST that if use the personas approach to development at least one (if not all) personas take the mandatory requirements on board.
There is some constraint checking for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) (these are published by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative ) built into Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. For those in the public sector I found this link on Channel 9 which might be useful : http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=130659
There is also a partner who has built a AJAX Control library for accessibility. I don't know how good or bad it is but their details are at :http://www.componentsource.com/products/telerik-radcontrols-asp-net/index.html
