Re:Event Based Page Model (Score 1)

Good points here, in that this is the way that Microsoft wants you to create asp.net applications... however, there are projects out there that will let you build MVC, n-tier, distributed transactional applications, similar to the best practices that have emerged from the J2EE world. The best of these (open source!) that I've seen is OpenSEAL. It's really a set of libraries that allow you to create enterprise applications without any of the lameness of the Microsoft event-driven web form model. It's really starting to gain some traction, and you might want to check it out if you're doing .NET enterprise applications...
