MVC all the way that allows for a thicker js-laden client pages. I agree with Mr schnrub…. web forms are needlessly complex. MVC all the way that allows for a thicker js-laden client pages.

Try something else if it is hard, don't stick to it because that is what MS gave you. Web development should be as easy as injecting strings within strings and outputing them to a stream. If it is harder than that, maybe you are using a saw to drive a nail into a board. Get a hammer! Before anybody starts flaming...I have used ASP.Net, C# and all things .NET since it came out, and still do. I just understand that there are other things out there that work better sometimes and I am not blind to them. Ruby on Rails, Django, ????

But make a general master page to push data into a specialized page just seems wrong to me. I agree with you that WebForms are too complicated.

Okay, so it isn't really my theory, but you get the point.
