[thelist] "PHP or ASP?" dilemma, strict company rules, and a hybrid web site.

But he probably did not forbid using web standard technologies like CSS?

Then using C# instead of PHP surely is not a problem.

Between the lines I read that you think it is possible to build "CSS 
enabled website" only if you use PHP, not when you use ASP.net - but 
ASP.net and PHP are the server side logic, while CSS is the client side 
peresentation. Whether you use PHP or ASP.net has no implications on 
your use of CSS.

Well, don't use Visual Studio - you could write your C# and CSS in 
Notepad - it's MS technology ;-)

Seriously, build your site as you would build it using your old methods, 
but instead of writing PHP code just write C#. How would that sound to you?
