An exercise in refactoring a real-world WebForm to a more maintainable and testable one. 

When just about everybody has written off WebForms as uncool and hailed MVC as the new Silver Bullet, I beg to differ.

 

This is a short notice, but still… I'm giving my IoC and DI with WebForms presentation at the New York Code Camp tomorrow. Instead of walking away with a "this is only a demo; don't try it at home" excuse, I actually have a read-world example to go through. 

Whether it's tamper-proofing ViewState, form authentication tickets, or generating session IDs, the <machineKey> section is behind it all. Even if you don't generate it by hand, there's one auto-generated for you.
