Our class subclasses control strictly to get access to the ViewState property (it's protected on the Page object).

What's the performance penalty on defining classes in an aspx/ascx codebehind rather than compiling them into a dll beforehand? I know that this isn't a best practice and that there are numerous problems with this (e.g. difficult to unit test, code is not reusable, etc.), but it does come in very handy when you're dealing with classes t...

We're reviewing one of the company's system's exception handling and found a couple of interesting things. Most of the code blocks (if not all of them) are inside a try/catch block, and inside the catch block a new BaseApplicationException is being thrown - which seems to be coming from the Enterprise Libraries. I'm in a bit of a troub...
