my question might sound stupid to some of you, but I need some good answers here. I have experience working with PHP and Ruby on Rails. I know what are the benefits in using both technologies, (MVC, performance and etc). Now I am working on a project written in C#. Based on what I have seen so far, the browser code is a mixture of HTML, inline and external CSS, and I some C# methods to generate HTML content. Everything is so messy, I have been working on it for 3days and I am still confused.From that C# implementation, there is not well structured MVC. My impression is that C# does not seem like a good choice when it comes to web app (for me). Maybe the code I am working with is written in a wrong way. My question is, is the messy HTML/CSS and the lack of MVC implementation something common when it comes to C# ? What are the benefits of C# over PHP, Java and ROR for developing small and big web applications.
Exaple from the code I work with:
</td>
<td align="left">
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_to" runat="server" Enabled="true"
TextAlignment="Center" MaxLength="7000"
AcceptsReturn="True" ToolTip="Add ; after a recepient to add another recepient"
CssClass="txt_Message1" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server"
TargetControlID="txt_to" MinimumPrefixLength="2"
CompletionInterval="10" CompletionSetCount="3"
EnableCaching="true" FirstRowSelected="true"
UseContextKey="True" ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"
DelimiterCharacters=";, :" howOnlyCurrentWordInCompletionListItem="true" />
<asp:Label ID="lbl_ToError" runat="server" CssClass="Error"></asp:Label>
</td>
This look too much complicated for me, at the end of the day it is just a text field :) And another thing, most of my global Css gets overloaded by the inline values ( I believe they are generated using some sort of a generator or VS tool).
Please, dont get offended, I have no experience with C# .NET this is my first contact and my impression is "Never ever". I hope it is the code I am working with, not the C#. Give me explanation why I should use C#? So far it has been a pain for me :)
Maybe you should try ASP.NET MVC. Seems like it would fit your requirements more :)
