- 5Who wants to look through 20 classes nesting and calling each other just to figure out what happens when you check or uncheck a check box? Only crazy people, or people who think college professors are gods.developerwjk– developerwjk2017-09-21 21:41:46 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2017 at 21:41
- 1Actually, when WebForm was created, industry standard practices were different (or nonexistent), and already existing applications never receive a refactoring when "the new cool way to do things" starts being adopted. That's why you see a lot of WebForm code cluttered with mess. Programming principles are abstarcted away from the tech stack you're using, so they can be applied even in WebForms, Cobol, Assembly, whatever.BgrWorker– BgrWorker2017-09-22 06:52:49 +00:00Commented Sep 22, 2017 at 6:52
- 1Yeah, it's true. How many MB was your ViewState? Oddly, I think Server-side controls tended to encourage business logic into the UI. Yet the programmer was much at fault for readily going along with the asp.net cargo-cult programming crap. Thus: so many events that business objects couldn't get to a correct state. Bus. objects couldn't call each other due to UI coupling. Then: oh, look Mo! We can work "disconnected!" nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. Real data volume brought your app to a grinding halt as asp.net classes pretended to be a database engine. But we were saving connections from wearing out!radarbob– radarbob2017-09-22 07:39:16 +00:00Commented Sep 22, 2017 at 7:39
- 1All of this rant is true... heart wrenchingly true. I have seen so much of what is described in this post concerning WebForms applications it makes me feel like these applications are little better than some PHP scripts thrown together by a high schooler strung out on energy drinks - and it was considered enterprise software!Greg Burghardt– Greg Burghardt2017-09-22 20:08:00 +00:00Commented Sep 22, 2017 at 20:08

- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
