Dear oh so wonderful ASP.NET,

I know that we programmers are far, far more stupid than your code generator. Clearly, if I write:

<form action="BoardEdit.aspx" method="post" runat="server">

Then actually you might as well assume I'd written:

<form method="post" runat="server">

And left you to figure out what the form action should be, because you can do that perfectly every time, fully accounting for the URL re-writing. If I suggest something different, clearly I would never have a good reason for doing this (for example, in the case that you've got no damm clue how to respect URL re-writing rules, but oh no, that would NEVER happen, would it? Oh, wait...).

Love (the thought of punching) you loads,

Jonathan

OK, OK, so C# 3.0 is only just out of the door. As anyone who has been reading my stuff for a while will have realized, I like what they've done with the language. Here at PH, we have now fully migrated all our solutions to Visual Studio 2008, and can now use C# 3.0 language and .Net 3.5 framework features everywhere they're useful. This makes me happy (though some annoying issues migrating to Web Deployment Projects 2008 decidedly aren't making me happy).

I haven't thought long and hard about what I'd really like in C# 4.0. I think I need C# 3.0 to settle in a bit more. I've used it quite a bit, but it takes a while to fully realize the power of all that is there, and I certainly don't want to start suggesting additions to the language when there is already a perfectly good solution to that problem...
