Hello All...

 I am pretty much new to asp.net.  I am a vb6 / vba / vbs windows developer who also knows coldfusion.  I did dabble a little bit into asp.net 1.1.

 Anyways --

My question:  When building an application, do most people use the WYSIWYG interface in VS or do you write the code.  I have read a few books on asp.net yet I still struggle with this.  I understand the whole configuring a datasource and binding it thorugh the tasks menu of a control.  I also feel comfortable with the tutorials I have done where I do all of this in code.  I get stuck because doing it via the tasks menu seems too "hands off" - especially from writing vb6 or coldfusion - it doesn't seem like I am writing enough code.  In the same regard, why write the code if it can be done through the interface.

 Does this make sense?

 What does the typical ASP.net developer do?
