It was adding the smileys that did it. ;(

We are officially a clone of digg now.

This time, please don't create accounts just to kick this.

I'm sure we will at some point in the future. Would you like to implement this feature and submit a patch?

Great post.

I was one of the many caught in the server control/viewstate headlights when asp.net first arrived. I always kept business logic out of the UI but the control/page events and databinding usually led to a mass of code split between the aspx page and code behind.

Working with Rails for over a year has changed my opinion on inline scripting in the UI. Simple views are simply better. Roll on the ASP.NET MVC.

My name is Gavin, not Joy ;)

Store your state in the db, cache or the web page form.

Perhaps too basic for DNK?

Thanks for mentioning the pattern Jon, I guess I'll have to add it back into DNK (it was removed just before opening the source).

Nice, we do something similar in DNK:

"v1.6b minimizes to the tray :-) "

Fantastic, I didn't notice that.

There is no edit function yet. Feel free to resubmit - I'll delete this one.

The stable release is v1.01. The latest alpha and beta releases are v1.6.

I've been running v1.6b which is in the first link.
