.net humility

I'm finally getting around to programming with ASP.NET. It was bound to happen some time.

After more than 3 years of getting by with regular old ASP, I am being humbled by this newfangled technology. Of course I don't like all the "let me do that for you" that MS does for every little thing, but there are some cool and powerful things going on here. But I'm not quite sure what they are yet. It took me a full workday to figure out a simple database insert from a form (that would take 30 minutes to do the "old" way). Hopefully this will get easier.
