My advice for making web standards compliant ASP.NET site from my own experience... * Understand (X)HTML and CSS and how to make a web standards compliant web site without ASP.NET * Understand how ASP.NET web controls are render (X)HTML i.e., asp:datagrid -> table, asp:label -> span * If the ASP.NET web controls don't render standards compliant (X)HTML then learn how to make your own custom controls Basically, understand how ASP.NET generates the code for the web page and if it doesn't do it properly be prepared to hack it into doing it properly.
