Hi,

I'm working at HR department of an automotive company as a web developer. We
are working on an intranet portal, and using C#/ASP.Net. We keep databases on
a MSSQL Server 2000.

I've been using PHP/MySQL for web development for 3+ years and I prefer using
PHP for any kind of web development. Executive officer told me to use MS
technologies, so I may not use PHP.

Learning programming languages is not a problem for me, I can learn a language
in a couple of hours, especialy if it's created by MS. I learnt C# after "Use MS
technologies!" conversation, and finished developing many pages. Many .Net
pages are only viewed with IE because of .Net's silly code generation.

I really want to use PHP for development, but i can't stop using .NET. On a
coffee break, i found an idea:

I can continue developing web applications with ASP.Net, as they wanted, but
develop portal with PHP, design a CSS enabled website, then show ASP.Net
web applications in (i)frames. 

We can't stop using ASP.Net, but I can't design pretty pages with
Visual Studio...

Tell me what you think, I need your suggestions.

Thank you,
Bahadir Kandemir
