Well so far so good; I have a site mostly working, including user management, in about 6 hours of coding.&nbsp; <br> <br> Some parts of it have been very easy.&nbsp; The master page mechanism works beautifully - my outer template is shared across all the pages, and CSS ensures I get the same look everywhere.&nbsp; I haven't played with Web Parts yet, but I did use the Login View to have some links that are only visible to logged in folks.<br> <br> The part that I find I'm spending most of the time on is creating objects for the data I'm going to be storing, and creating the database table, and mapping from the object to the table.&nbsp; This is always a long tedious part, and I was hoping we'd have Whitehorse (the OR mapper that we were initially promised for Whidbey) to help with this; I guess the fact that there isn't any other help with this means they were planning on having Whitehorse in Whidbey, but here I am mapping objects to records the old fashioned way.<br> <br>Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:17:09 GMT
