First impressions of asp.net 2.0 C# using Visual Studio

Since there’s a risk I will start a new project in a few weeks that requires me to work with asp.net 2.0 C# for around 20h per week I took a quick look on the framework.

Number one impression is that it feels like using Visual Studio is almost like cheating a bit :). The code comes to you easily and even though I never looked at ASP before it felt extremely easy to get going with. It takes away much more of the actual coding from you than eg ZEND editor.

With regard to structure I haven’t really figured it out yet, I prefer MVC structures since this is what is usually used in more low level programming which is what I have worked most with. In VS you basically have the view in one page, and the code behind it plus of course the underlying DB but still … hmm lets see.

Guess I will loose all my geek cred if I start working with MS :).
