CFCA: CSS Friendly Control Adapters for ASP.Net

I have long shunned ASP.Net for the ugly and ancient HTML code that it uses for rendering controls. Enter the CSS Friendly Control Adapters kit (CFCA?) for ASP.Net 2.0, which “… provides pre-built control adapters that you can easily use to generate CSS-friendly markup from some of the more commonly used ASP.NET controls …”

Started late 2006 as a Microsoft project, it was released *gasp* open-source and required a lot of extra steps to incorporate into a project. Frustrated by this, an independent developer, Brian DeMarzo, repackaged the code so that it compiled into a single DLL, thus the present form of CFCA.

Although the website pretty much lacks updates, the project is still alive, with the latest release dated Jan 25.

You may download the code here.

    This is something that is so badly needed for .net sites it isn’t even funny. I’m passing this onto our programmers to implement if possible ASAP.
