Sure it is the fault of Microsoft

MS has provided a way for people to have no clue and still make someting that works. This is not a bad thing, except for those people who suddenly hit a brick wall, b/c they didn't take the time to understand what they were doing. You're right, this happens on the ASP.NET forum daily.

May be they are lazy or unable to do that..

This is what scares me about Voltaire. Can you imagine some of the screw ups that are bound to come along when some chit that's one bit short of a byte that doesn't know what an IP Endpoint is from his mum's puckered lips works on that stuff.. :shudder:

Hi Martin, Hey, don't be too hard on yourself : the day any of us "wakes up" and realizes that we need to educate ourselves to a deeper level with any aspect of the technologies we use is ... imho ... a very good day ! :) Blaming MS, or any other company, or yourself is just a waste of time. Fortunately, for all of us, we have places like the CodeProject community to learn in, learn from, give back to as we can. I celebrate with you your new sense of curiousity. best, Bill

Shh! Don't let led mike hear you. :~ Personally I think it's great. Yesterday, for the first time, I used a FormView bound to a database, to allow the capture of new records with writing two lines of code, and these were to set default values for new records. Being able to get a small, prototype application like that out as quickly as possible allows me more time to start thinking about the bigger picture architecture and well generalised custom code.

No, that is not enough. Invest in a few good books.

Now I have enough work load and I am preparing for a university exam in computer science. I need more than 24 hours in a day :)

Any small recommendation for me? A .net 3.5 with vb.net code-behind will server my purpose I guess, but not sure which one to choose? Thanks in advance.

I was a VB.NET programmer 6 months ago. After successful 6 months implementation of ASP.NET projects I realized that I don’t know anything about client-server technology. :laugh: Now I am busy to learn it. While reading ASP.NET forums, I feel this is similar to everyone. Most of them unaware of this technology. I will blame Microsoft. Anyone can develop a web site without knowing the basis of web.

Ha I used a datasource object for the first time to tie an aspx page to a business object and then got lost looking for the code that manages the data :sigh: I still like managing the work myself but I got to admit the paging is effective.

Its great when you want to churn out a demo app as fast as you can, but IMO, if you want anything robust, you need to write it out yourself.

So what do you want? Software that's deliberatly hard so you have to learn the concepts before you can do anything!?! Give Microsoft a break, has the open source community produced anything better, I think not!
