Hey all - Now I'm no ASP.Net programmer - though I've done a lot of windows application VB.Net - I just remember playing a bit with ASP.Net and I loved all the gotdotnet tutorials that give 20 lines of code that do wonderful things with event driven datagrids from server to browser... BUT... at work our designers are very finicky with the way things look, demanding pixel-perfect placement of graphics and form elements - all of which with relative positioning to scale/stretch etc. With coldfusion I'm LOOKING AT the very HTML that ends up in the browser and I couldn't (in the short time I played with it) figure out how to do the same in ASP.Net. Sure you have templates etc. but it seemed to me (and correct me if I'm wrong) that getting a very precise-looking datagrid would require rewriting of the datagrid component. (Which is possible, but it's no longer the drag-and-drop wonder that it was made out to be).
That's just my long winded $0.02. - James > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 30 April 2004 4:14 AM > To: CFAussie Mailing List > Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Cold Fusion vs ASP > > > On Apr 29, 2004, at 7:03 AM, barry.b wrote: > > hmmm... a bit thin on real ASP.NET stuff (page 8 and only selected > > bits). > > It's pretty obvious the articles author (BF) isn't known as an ASP > > programmer... > > I hadn't read it in detail - I just remembered that Ben had written > such a comparison. > > > I also meant the seperation of server side code and > presentation that > > (IMHO) is the neatist around and beats hands-down OTT > methodologies of > > FuseBox or Batfink or whatever (see code below). > > Hmm, I actually think the code is horribly obtuse and there > seems to be > a lot of low-level machinery in that page just to bind data! > CF simply > binds a query to a data grid by name without page load methods and > other binding calls... > > <cfquery datasource="..." name="dataset"> > ... > </cfquery> > <cfform ...> > <cfgrid query="dataset" name="grid" ... /> > </cfform> > > Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/ > > "There are no solutions, only trade-offs." > -- Thomas Sowell > > > --- > You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send a blank email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia > http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 > --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
