Well, you can still use COM, and it won't break for strange reasons, such as in CF.
Although CFMX's CFCs are good, and having Web Services are even better, there's still problems with datatypes that CFMX has trouble with. Not to mention custom datatypes. Is everything in CF going to have to be a structure? Gawd, I'd just like to have a freaking hashtable in CF. ASP.NET has the very convenient events when a page is loaded, etc. You can therefore place most, if not all, your logic at the top of the page. I know you can hack this in CFMX using <cfsavecontent>, but it's nice in ASP.NET in that MS has acknowledged that, yes, it's nice to have your logic in one place and here's a way for you to do it. Also, you can pretty well write all your display code using built-in server side code. This is more akin to traditional development - I don't literally write options in a select box in Java Swing, for example. But this is what happens on the web. Furthermore, let's talk about the built-in functionality that ASP.NET has. One of the biggest (if not the biggest) feature about CF is how "built-in" a lot of stuff is. So now that ASP.NET has a bunch of built-in stuff, why is that suddenly considered a con? And, you know when a user's session is terminated in ASP.NET. CFMX _still_ doesn't have this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harkins,Patrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, December 23, 2002 11:49 am Subject: RE: RE: RE: Microsoft plots Macromedia coup against Java > I wasn't clear here - I meant in what are the better ways in .NET > for doing > this, and better than what? > -Patrick > > > > > > separating code from presentation - What is exactly better > about > > > this?
