The BCL is where all the base classes live. > Significantly, it doesn't support Web Forms, which is great for developers but a hard sell for managers. I can't tell if you're trolling or are serious, if you are serious that's pretty sad. WebForms is an abomination. Just because you can use drag and drop controls and "magically" get AJAX working in the background does not mean it's a good thing. I don't even know where the "great for developers but a hard sell for managers" comes from. If by your own admission it's so great, why is it not the other way around with developers hating it and managers pushing for it? Either way, that scenario doesn't happen. WebForms has for literally years been as dead as the dodo, with only 1) legacy applications using it or 2) developers who don't have a clue and haven't bothered trying to learn anything modern. ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET Web API with a TS/JS frontend are the only 2 options you have.
