Mixing code with presentation

Hi all, I'm an old timer ASP developer, and perhaps my problem lays there, I'm used to mix the code with the web site tables GUI, I'm now trying hard to move to a dotNET only development stage but I can't quite do anything.

dotNET is all about code on top, HTML and web controls at the bottom, this is fine for pure white type websites, what about web sites that need to have a fair amount of graphics?

How do I do this in VB.NET: [... Welcome: Request.Cookies("Cookie")("Key") ...]
What about this: [... You are <%= dOld %> days older ...]

I have read somewhere that this new dotNET style of seperation of code and presentation is a major improvement, how so? It lacks the flexibility if of ASP.

Can someone tell me how you do your development on a web site with some surrounding graphics?

Thanks.You can still do inline coding and separate the code and presentation - - it's just a different way to do it

What you'd do is put an ASP.Net Label server control where you want the message to be (on the page).

Then, in the Page_Load Event, you could assign whatever you'd like to the text property of that label:
label1.text = Welcome: Request.Cookies("Cookie")("Key")

Take a look atASPNet101.com - there are a lot of code samples and tutorials to get you started on your way...
Thx, yes, it's a whole new approach, I guess I have to adapt if I want to continue dotNETing.

By the way, this topic is not listed in the public view area, I guess you keept it private.

Thanks once again.
