My wife, the ASP.NET guru

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would throw something out here. I got a kick out of this IM chat I just had with my wife:

me: i hate ASP.NET
wife: what do you need to know
wife: i haven't brushed up in awhile
wife: but i might be able to help you
me: ahahaha
me: tell my why this isn't being declared when the class is being compiled
me: strFullPath = Request.Path.Substring(0,Request.Path.LastIndexOf("/")+1 )
me: I've already declared the string
me: but when rendered it come pack and says it's not
wife: because you have too many periods in there
me: it's so simple...
me: it just might work... [not really]
wife: bryan
wife: just think
wife: you're missing the obvious
me: der! too many periods. what was I thinking?
me: strFullPath = Why.the.f(0,ck.won't(you,"work")+you+(piece.of.sh).it!


I'm really starting to loathe .NET. Seriously. It has so much potential. I'm respecting the framework. I'm spending time learning its intricasies. I'm putting in the work, but when it's time to reward me, it fails for some unforseen reason.

It's like dating a really hot model that doesn't put out.

I know exactly what you mean.  The roundrip concept is great.  Sometimes.  There are times when I just go with old-school ASP because it's easier to spit out a little bit of data than to deal with .NET.  

BTW - I love the look of your web app.  Very clean.  I'm going to revamp my company helpdesk and strip out as much "chrome" as I can and simplify the forms down to fieldsets.  

Fieldsets are the new Tableâ„¢

I started building the next great version of our bug tracking app here at work in ASP.NET (http://www.houserdesign.com/pmt3.jpg), but unfortunately, I found that I HATE round-tripping to the server for EVERYTHING. Need to sort a column - go to the server. Need to translate some data - go to the server.

Not only that but it wants EVERYTHING to be an object. Ya know what, sometimes, I don't need the overhead of turning my bug data rows into objects so that I can display them in a table - just give me the friggin data already.

Maybe I'm just an old school client-side type web-app developer. For C# WinForms apps, I dig it, but for ASP.NET - blegh!
