I have worked with ASP.NET for over three years now, and it is
possible to get at least XHTML Transitional compliance consistently
once you know what the issues are.
Yeah, I agree with this. I've used ASP.Net since 2001 and it's possible
to produce good code but that will require knowing a lot about its
internals (Eg, how VS.Net rewrites HTML, how datagrids don't have
genuine headings, linkbuttons don't work in old browsers, how the
viewstate isn't xhtml, etc). Because there's such an abstraction between
the controls and their html it's difficult to fix too, and the html may
be part of the dll rather than an editable text file (to get xhtml it's
easiest to so something like
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ASPNET2XHTML.asp )
Joel on Software has an article that mentions ASP.Net,
