Just chiming in here, but did anyone else think it odd that every example given for how to port CF to ASP.NET that the ASP.NET code was always longer and more complex than the CF code?
How exactly does ASP.NET speed up my development cycle if it takes more code to accomplish the exact same functionality? What's the motivation to port code?

You can, for instance create an event listener. Then, on your web page, create an event that the listener picks up and acts upon. The nice thing is, the event can originate from anywhere, not just your web page. Maybe you have another app somewhere else that also creates those events. Anyhow, in terms of ASP.NET and presentation, the event model exists to make web development closer to traditional client/server development. The fact that VS.NET works well with it is a nicety. The event model came first; it does not exist for an IDE's sake. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, July 18, 2003 11:34 am Subject: RE: MSDN on CF -> ASP.net > > You don't need VS.NET for the event model.
