You have got that right Bruce.

I'm beginning to think I might as well give all this up. I simply don't know enough to know what I'm doing. I've been through books, all over MSDN, this forum, the knowledge bases and I'm still at a loss. Often as not I can't even understand the basic terminology.

I'm considering giving it up and returning to simpler http rather than ASP.NET 3.5. Not much point in me remaining a DiscountASPNET customer either. I'm just wasting money.

Got any suggestions of the title of a book (like a kindergarter primer) I might resort to before I throw in the towel?
