why write in .aspx code??!!
Doug,
You are not missing anything.
The books present ASPX with the assumption that you are not using Visual
Studio.NET. Its easier and more compact (in print) to present the script
in-line with the ASPX.
As you are seeing Visual Studio.NET simplifies coding for you.
The intent is to allow you a VB6 programmer to develop ASP.NET applications
with the same ease as you would a VB6 or VB.NET app.
Continue to drag & drop the controls, set properties, write VB.NET code in
the aspx.vb file.
Its good to know the structure of the aspx, as someday you may need to tweak
it, but generally you should not need to...
Hope this helps
Jay
