Hey Mark,
Thats great to hear that there are others striving for a similar
approach. I know that David Peterson is (did you follow the below
link?).
Your points are well valid, I can relate to each of them. Yes, the
calendar control is a quick and easy way to display a calendar, but
how easy is it to extend, scale (up or down), and style?
I have been coding this way HEAVY for about 3 years now, of course it
is just recently that I have switched to C# and .NET. Previously it
was the marriage of ASP and XSLT. By the way, here is a rant:
I can not stand the XML I am forced to work with as delivered from a
DataSet in ADO.NET. It is almost useless! Give me the traditional
persisted XML from the ADO recordset please. (Hello Microsoft?)
This site:

Models: ASP + XSLT
Start here (and enjoy!):
www.meetscoresonline.com/documents/default_t.xsl
I am an XSLT junky.. I get it.
I also get C# and .NET, and I too was a EXTREMELY heavy ASP developer
( Ref: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200309/msg00227.html )
This is mostly a shout out, and feel free to shout back.
Is there such sites dedicated to this approach? Oh, I should mention
that, to qualify as a C# + 100% XSLT Processing member, you must vow
to never NEVER use the .NET design UI. Strip it out! Lose the page
wrapped in a FORM tag! Say goodbye to the calendar control! Besides
you can write a better one with XSLT!
