I guess my point here is that you don't have to use these things when building apps in ASP.NET. You choose too.
The same thing applies in every other platform/language there is. I consider the fancy form stuff in .NET as part of the tools they have provided, while it does exist outside of VS.NET and anybody can run them, they are still a part of the tools that MS created and included in the platform. <cfform> is a tool, not part of the platform. The platform doesn't and should provide things for you, the tools provide these things. Maybe it is a difference of opinion and terms, but what you are talking about is part of the tools. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 2:33 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Microsoft plots Macromedia coup against Java > > > Most of what you are talking about is not a function of ASP.NET, > > but of > > editors such as Visual Studio.NET. > > Uh, no it's not.
