Not Quite a Programming Question
-
I spent some time playing with the ASP.Net Web Matrix Class Browser tonight. What an education! There are hundreds, if not thousands of objects that can be accessed using this tool. But can I really use them all on a web page? Can I really create a couple of sockets, for instance, and host a site that supports a chat service using them? If so, the line between website development and application development is becoming really thin! I'm used to things like Response.Write and Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"), but this opens a whole new world! It's playtime...:-D Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Well, you can use a lot of the .Net library in ASP.Net apps - they're completely normal .Net apps (except they show up on a website, so some things just don't have a way to work (Windows Forms for example)).
