Note: This demo is in VB.NET and based on my use of spark on a real project; I can say that this will be the first of a few Spark MVC for VB.NET developers. Spark uses C# in the views; I think its going to be a good way, for me at least, to keep up to speed with both syntax. It seems that bootstrapping Spark in the global.asa (code in general) is not working for namespaces. I’ll have another post early next week about all my next steps but for now just know you need to add your namespaces to a _global.spark This demo is the process of getting running with spark and replacing the webforms...

What is it called? First off; what are we calling “Classic ASP.NET Development using Webforms and the MVP Pattern” today? I’d like to suggest we stick with a discussion of the patterns and the surrounding technology. Component based development using the MVP pattern…or MVP for short and Non-Component based development using the MVC pattern…or MVC for short And I am aware that there are companies working on MVC components/html helpers…so what else are we going to call it? Then again you might be write…what % of “Webforms” developers are using the MVP pattern? 5%?…hmmm…anyway...
