  1. PODoes anyone beside me just NOT get ASP.NET MVC?
    text
    copied!<p>I've been fiddling with ASP.NET MVC since the CTP, and I like a lot of things they did, but there are things I just don't get.</p> <p>For example, I downloaded beta1, and I'm putting together a little personal site/resume/blog with it. Here is a snippet from the ViewSinglePost view:</p> <pre><code> &lt;% // Display the "Next and Previous" links if (ViewData.Model.PreviousPost != null || ViewData.Model.NextPost != null) { %&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;% if (ViewData.Model.PreviousPost != null) { %&gt; &lt;span style="float: left;"&gt; &lt;% Response.Write(Html.ActionLink("&lt;&lt; " + ViewData.Model.PreviousPost.Subject, "view", new { id = ViewData.Model.PreviousPost.Id })); %&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;% } if (ViewData.Model.NextPost != null) { %&gt; &lt;span style="float: right;"&gt; &lt;% Response.Write(Html.ActionLink(ViewData.Model.NextPost.Subject + " &gt;&gt;", "view", new { id = ViewData.Model.NextPost.Id })); %&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; &lt;div style="clear: both;" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Disgusting! <strong>(Also note that the HTML there is temporary placeholder HTML, I'll make an actual design once the functionality is working)</strong>.</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong? Because I spent many dark days in classic ASP, and this tag soup reminds me strongly of it.</p> <p>Everyone preaches how you can do cleaner HTML. Guess, what? 1% of all people look at the outputted HTML. To me, I don't care if Webforms messes up my indentation in the rendered HTML, as long as I have code that is easy to maintain...This is not!</p> <p>So, convert me, a die hard webforms guy, why I should give up my nicely formed ASPX pages for this?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Bolded the "temp Html/css" line so people would stfu about it.</p>
