RE: Sketchflow for ASP.Net
Who says that the mock-up technology needs to be the same as the implementation technology. That would be like saying using PowerPoint for a mock-up is in appropriate because it isn't based on WPF/Silverlight/HTML/Flash whatever.

RE: Sketchflow for ASP.Net
The reality is most mockup tools either don't produce target platform code (Balsamiq) or produced relatively useless target platform code (Axure). If you have Sketchflow skills already then I'd consider sticking with it. One thing that will annoy you though is that sketchflow doesn't inherently allow for scrolling web 'pages'. If you don't have existing Sketchflow skills you need to consider that these 'rich' prototyping tools (Sketchflow and Catalyst) have pro's and con's: - Con: harder to learn and less productive than lightweight tools like Balsamiq - Pro: Able to take prototypes to a much richer level of interactivity (and fidelity) - giving them an advantage for really rich UIs (like you'd design for WPF or Silverlight.)

Re: Sketchflow for ASP.Net
Yes, it's only for WPF or Silverlight. It's really just a set of styles that get applied on it, that's pretty much it.
