>>Personally, if they added all this functionality into VB and VC++ I would welcome it. That way all development for all tiers could be handled in one development environment. But until that happens (and I don't think it will in VS7 although obviously I have no way of knowing for sure) we will continue to use it.

>Good news Gary, they are...the technology is called WebForms, and is slated to be in VB 7, and some other VS 7 tools, I believe. I recall JVP stated in another message something to the effect that WebForms will effectively replace VID.

Yes, he did state that in a response to my original post and now you've put a name to it. However, he also stated:

"VID is a pig. The idea is good - taking the event-driven programming model to the web. The execution of the idea - in a word - sucks. The Jscript code that gets created is both of bad quality and is extremely buggy."

My question to both you and John is are the just moving the problem or are they retooling the execution of this idea?
