Well infact you can't do anything in CF unless you are using CFML, with the exception of having application.cfm and onRequestEnd.cfm run with each file.
ColdFusion is both a tool, a platform and a language rolled into one. Where as C# is a language that runs in the .NET Platform. MS Provided tools as part of the SDK that work in C#. ASP.NET is a sub platform of .NET, it has a number of built in things that are a part of the platform that do come with it and are required for the system to work correctly. This same holds true with everything else. ASP.NET and the .NET Platform have provided a number of tools to developers. In my opinion some are pretty good, but some are not, this holds true with CF and everything else. I have used them all in varying amounts, CF and .NET the most in the past year. To be 100% honest I cannot tell much difference between the two. With one exception: development time in CF seems significantly lower. > > <cfform> is a tool, not part of the platform.
