Sometimes it needs to perform actions based on those values, like emailing out reminders and expiring "single-use" session tokens. However there are clien...

Hi, I was wondering why you would still use ASP over Silverlight, since with silverlight there is a lot you can do already. And you dont have to use css, jquery, js, html, etc. Also with silverlight you can do a call to the database via ria service.
