Basically you may use ASP controls to render content dynamically.
In a few simple words, suppose you want to render a table with data from a DB. You cannot use a static HTML table with X rows, because you don't know how many rows you have in DB to display.
Simple options here are: to use <asp:table xmlns:asp="#unknown"> control, which can be dynamically rendered, you may add rows, columns, etc..using code behind(C#, VB), or, second option, to render HTML tags dynamically, but in this case you don't have managed support (let's say for each row from DB you'll add a < tr > tag).

ok i get that ... let me point out that i have been writing (and teaching) db driven websites for 6+yrs in python and php so i know exactly how to render dynamic content to html or xhtml
my question was meant to be more like ... what does the asp:listview give me (apart from a whole bunch of overhead) that rendering clean html directly doesn't?
thnx

ok, then.
It gives you a lot of features like: dynamic rendering, binding, custom templates, insert/edit/update modes, integrated pagination, integrated sorting...

but with a huge overhead and complexity that depends on a 3rd party (in this case MS) getting it all working correctly and rendering properly
when it's very easy to do all those things without all the extra layers and overhead
that was why i was wondering what asp:xxx controls bring to the party and who they are aimed at?

I think you might get on better with the ASP.NET MVC framework - It's a lot cleaner.

WinForms controls are designed for people who don't know, and don't want to know, anything about HTML. The same people who managed to write Windows apps for years without ever knowing anything about Win32. They are, IMHO, worse than useless if you actually need or want some control over what's actually sent to the client.
As Colin suggests, you'll probably be much happier with the MVC stuff.

Shocking! Who could have ever guessed that getting specifications from internet forums was not as reliable as reading the documentation? Really, I mean who?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there's an SDK or API to Search Server 2008 Express?
I want to specify some parameters for a seach on a SharePoint site and Search Server 2008 Express looks ideal.
Thanks

I voted you a 5 by the way 
Anyway, of course I've googled it but I was directed to a page on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc304521.aspx[^]
This says the following:
"The Microsoft Search Server 2008 administration object model is based on the Enterprise Search administration object model in Office SharePoint Server 2007 and includes additional members in the Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration Namespace."
...so a more informed reply to my original question would be, "No, the object model adds some additional members to the Enterprise Search administration object model".
I want to be able to access the Search Server Express 2008 object model without having to pay for MOSS. That's why I asked if there was a specific SDK

Then you should have included that information in your post. The members of this site are mere humans and therefore have no telepathy powers.

Yes, and if you follow links on that page you will find one that says the following:
Depending on which method overload you use, you might need to also include a reference in your project to the Microsot.Office.Server.dll or to the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
Now while that dll needs to be obtained from a Sharepoint installation it does not require you having to pay for MOSS if you can obtain the DLL from a MOSS installation. Since you are working on a MOSS project I would imagine you have access to a MOSS installation.

The problem is that JavaScript doesn't know (nor does it care) what the root of your application is. Something you can do is, in your script code, add a server-side expression that represents your application root, and assign it to a variable. From there, you can concatenate your relative path values.
var applicationRoot = "<%= System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath %>";
document.open(applicationRoot + "/myFolder/myDoc.htm");

looks like a good idea. Thanks.

I have tried the code that was posted on this site using Web Services and Ajax and I can't get this to work. Plus I don't want the XML to show below the form. I am setting up my form in Dreamweaver using asp not asp.net. I have a text box for Zip, City, and State in my form. I want for a person to enter their zip and when they move to the next field it will auto populate the City and State. I have a database called Zipcodes with a table that contains Zip, City, and State. Can anyone help me with this.
