That Rick certainly knows his onions. What I like about ASP.NET and Web Forms is exactly what he mentioned - it's the closest thing there is out there to a VFP or VB6-alike RAD tool for web applications, especially when coupled with a CMS like DotNetNuke. It's 2008, why would anyone want to be still messing about with layout and raw HTML manually? To me it's like designing a VFP GUI using @...SAY..GET. Maybe I'm naive.
But he's also right about having to micromanage viewstate otherwise pages just end up huge. And while it does go a long way to providing something like the Windows Forms paradigm for the web, you eventually start hitting the holes, but I think they're as much to do with the way the web itself works, and browser incompatabilties, as anything else. -- Alan Bourke [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
