Server-side controls need to be used judiciously, with server-side control events being used only for click-events on buttons that would have been SUBMIT buttons in classic CGI solutions. Having events fire on selections from a drop-down list, for example, is probably not something would choose to do other than in exceptional cases. The pitch for ASP.NET should be supported by a great many advantages that it offers, the least of which is server-side control events.

Some client-side code purist argue that ASP.NET's server side controls put to much of a load on the server and cause to many round trips to the server. When you are pitching ASP.NET and run into these arguments how do you answer these criticisms of ASP.NET?
