ASP.NET WebForms Help

I utilize ASP.NET WebForms to create accessible, data-driven, and mobile-friendly websites. Even though it is pretty much old tech, I prefer WebForms over MVC because:

  • It is easier for me to associate tag ID's with data properties rather than associate name attributes with data properties in MVC
  • I utilize their Theme system to create colored themes that users can use either to improve the readability of the site or simply to pick a fun and different color rather than the default.
  • I simply enjoy coding WebForms sites more than MVC sites

I wrote this post in hopes of finding a mentor — someone with whom I can share my projects and ask for help when needed. I am currently in the process of learning LINQ to Entities. I have successfully created functions for creating, reading, updating, and deleting data, but I am having trouble reading related data. I have tried asking questions using the ASP.NET Forums and StackOverflow. If I get an answer, it is usually over my head, and I usually don't get another reply if I reply with another question. I think it would be easier to find someone I can share my projects with so that they know what I'm working on when I have a question. If you would be interested in helping out a self-employed businesswoman who is looking to improve her website development skills and obtain more clients, please email me.
