"WebForm_PostBackOptions is undefined" and Son of SmartPart
I haven't experienced this problem myself, but there seem to be some people get this exception when they use Son of SmartPart to load ASP.NET 2.0 user controls in combination with the Web Deployment Projects add-in. Steve Hartzog blogged about the solution for this problem: add the WebResource.axd to the excluded paths in SharePoint Central Administration. If you want to know how and why, check one of my previous posts. If you just want to get it fixed, below is the summary. I'm going to include this step in the Installation Guide of the Son of SmartPart, once again thanks Steve for bringing this to my attention!

Feedback Requested: SmartPart v2 Breaking Changes
Son of SmartPart version 1.0 has been out there for quite some time now, so it’s time for an update. Since the last release I got tons of questions, feedback and requests, unfortunately they I haven’t been able to answer them all (they keep me very, very busy at U2U). Before I’m going to release the next update, I’d love to get some feedback of the SmartPart community. Let me know if you like or dislike the proposed changes or maybe you’ve got another request?

FlexListViewer: Display Contents of a SharePoint List From Another Site
Almost two years ago (wow, time flies when you're having fun!) I wrote a small article about how you could reproduce contents from a SharePoint list or document library on a site, when the actual list is stored on another site. The trick that I explained was to use FrontPage to handle all the dirty work, but of course the consequence is that you end up with an unghosted page. Now Robert te Kaat, has written a nice web part that can do the same thing: FlexListViewer-webpart is able to display any type of list and can be easily configured, just by configuring the address of a view of the list.
