1. Hey Folks I finally made the leap (ASP -> ASP.net Questions)

*.aspnet and *.vb so I could get rounded opinions.

Hey Folks,

I decided to see what all the fuss was about and made the switch to ASP.net
from classic ASP.   I must say the transisition has not been as traumatic as
I would have imagine however I really only have re-coded a few simple
one-two page applications.  What stands out most is the speed difference, it
seems to me that after the initial page load (when it gets compiled) my
calculation heavy pages really really run a lot fast and this alone has me
impressed.  I do have a number of questions though that I would appreciate
some feedback on.  Feel free to point me at URLs, I don't much care for
re-inventing the wheel and I do not expect you to do it either.

- So my pages run a little fast, my integers don't suddenly become text
values and give me type missmatch errors and the compilation process causes
me to code a little more carfully.  I feel like I am missing something,
where is the huge huge benefit, it can't just be a revamping of ASP with a
new layer of confusion and better performance?

- I code VB and C - are there any performance benefits to using CSharp over
VB.net?  I'd assume as the code portions are compiled that this would not be
a huge factor.  I have always used VB on the old ASP pages and I'd like to
know if there is a sound arguement for either of the languages.  My biggest
problem with C is forgetting ; at the end of everyline - has C Sharp changed
much from the old C versions?  VB on the other hand is basic but I sometimes
find myself longing for some of the old C functions.

- What happened to isnull() ?  How do I check to see if something is a
number?  Some of the old VB functions I had taken for granted have gone
AWOL, is there a function list anywhere I can download.

- Finally, any good book recomendations from ASP people who have made the
transition?

Any help/responses are appreciated

J
