It might be an exaggeration to say that there are a million reasons that I love .Net, but not by much.  In writing this article, I've focused on only 5 reasons, but they are big, and they are core to .Net

When ASP.Net 1.0 was launched, I was drawn to it because the language supported true Object-Oriented development.  I had been attempting OO design using classic ASP, but was met with limited success due to the limitations of the environment.  When I started reading about .Net, I was truly excited.

Now I'm developing sophisticated solutions using .Net 3.5, and I realize now that I had no clue back then just how robust the .Net environment was.

This article is a high-level exploration of a number of features of ASP.Net, VB.Net, and the .Net CLR (Common Language Runtime) that make it an excellent environment for sophisticated web applications.  Over time, I will delve into more detail on some of my favorite features.
