Yes,
this is easy enough to do (with PHP, ASP, JSP, PERL, you name it) with a
simple page and a relativly small infosetation, but when you are talking
about a recordset  of say 1000+ records, the problem becomes apparent.
Maintaining state with custom programming soon becomes an overwhelming
task!!

.NET trivalises and makes transparent this process.
