Well, you could argue that all ASP.NET webform pages are similar to templates, as they don't need to (and usually don't) have any application logic within the .aspx pages (it all goes in the codebehind). However, you might find that ASP.NET MVC is even more like what you are familiar with. ASP.NET MVC supports a number of view engines, too.
