Previous versions of the ASP.NET framework have had an issue with id mangling in server controls, making your named id to be rewritten into something like “ctl00_MainContent_” before rendered by the client. The latest version, ASP.NET 4, will take care of this problem.
There is a great new guy in the White House and he’s got a brand new website as well. The official whitehouse.gov had a major overhaul and the result is quite nice. They use ASP.NET 2.0, but the markup almost validates.
ASP.NET has always been taking a lot of hard words from web standards advocates. Many of the complaints are well deserved, but there are some ways to make things slightly better.
ASP.NET web controls are usually littered in the markup in design time, but sometimes there is a need to dynamically add controls to an ASP.NET web page in runtime. Its quite easy to generate a server control from a string.
