RE: [xsl] Advocate for C# .NET + 100% XSLT Processing

Hi Karl,

Interesting you say this as my company and I have developed an XSLT
Framework sitting on IIS. It uses XSLT for business logic and
presentation layers and Standard database adapters that create XML for
data access layers.  As a Microsoft Gold Partner we have been developing
solutions inside Microsoft for the last two years using the framework.

Our experience is that ASP.NET is exceptionally difficult to develop UIs
with as all sorts of business logic, database access and UI controls
need to be developed every time a new database structure is created. We
found that ASP.NET is great if you use the standard controls but
requires loads of code if you need something slightly outside the scope
of the standard controls e.g. calendar.

I actually developed the GUI for our software with ASP.Net but could
have done it a damn site faster if I had used our framework for its own
user interface!!! If you fancy a scan we used our framework to develop
the launch site for AutoRoute2006 launch www.route2006.com.

Mark

I am an XSLT junky.. I get it.
I also get C# and .NET, and I too was a EXTREMELY heavy ASP developer
( Ref:
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200309/msg00227.html )

This is mostly a shout out, and feel free to shout back.

Is there such sites dedicated to this approach?  Oh, I should mention
that, to qualify as a C# + 100% XSLT Processing member, you must vow
to never NEVER use the .NET design UI.  Strip it out!  Lose the page
wrapped in a FORM tag!  Say goodbye to the calendar control!  Besides
you can write a better one with XSLT!

Karl..
