You can use asp.net much in the same way as traditional web dev -
multiple pages that perform a single task, or go with a web form when it
suits the process. I find web forms are really great on an intranet where
postback time is incredibly short - it's like having a windows program
without the hasle of installation. There are times that my webforms execute
so fast that I didn't realize they had done so.
Without having read the book that Marlin is referring to, I believe it's
only possible that the author is referring to the server - the security
limitations of http are still the same across all server side languages.
That said, .NET does open up the server even more so than ASP or CF could
dream of. I've got one app that looks for a specific progid in the task
manager and shuts it down when I want it to. That's the kind of control
that you can't get in any version of CF .
As far as server controls go - Kwang Suh is right, some of them are
useless, but it's very nice to have great amounts of control when you have a
section of words that need to hold their place until an event takes place.
Actually, the example that Marlin gave was
'<asp:label id = "hellotext" runat="server" text="hello">' is the same as
'<span>hello</span>' when a better translation would be to: '<cfset
var="Hello"><span>#var#</span>'. However, this is still not an exact
translation. On the server side, the server control could easily change
its font, value, visibility, and size, whereas the span tag might take a lot
more work to achieve the same result.
