Checking regedit, everything appears to be fine except for ...Show All

• .NET Development ASP.NET 2.0 Advocacy

  I am looking for some resources and/or compelling arguments I may use to help "sell" ASP.NET 2.0 over PHP 5 internally. We have a PHP based user-facing control panel application, written in PHP 4.3. Given the rich interaction model we are designing, I simply don’t think PHP 4.3 or even 5.0 is up to the challenge. Unfortunately, I work in a Microsoft-hostile environment, and I’ll need strong ammunition to prove myself right, especially if I’m goi ...Show All
