I gave an impromptu demo of my MVC project tamplate, and in the process discovered a couple of very minor things I didn't think of, but the dev I showed it to really liked it. They said it looked more polished and slick than the "old app", and I reminded them that the old app was 12 years old and had never had a major facelift, so it wasn't necessarily less polished, it was simply old tech using old ideas.
The only problem I can foresee is the strategy I'm going to suggest regarding connecting the new code to the existing databases. EF presents some challenges that I'm sure they will balk at, but that comes with the territory. Moving old apps' content to the new app should be a relative no-brainer, and if they want to take the (unadvised) shorcut, they can pretty much just copy paste the old javascript and keep on keeping on. I choose the higher path of all new code, and using as little javascript as possible.

Another guy in the group wants to see it. 
I added database-driven menus (with endless submenu support) to it at lunch today. They don't have to do anything but populate the database, and I might even write them an app that automatically populates the database based on their menu design.
Ya see, this is what I was talking about a few weeks ago when I mentioned the lack of drive and initiative. They're happy with the status quo because it's less work. What they don't seem to realize (yet) is that my "new way" will mean they don't have to work as hard at maintenance. On the other hand, maybe they see the maintenance headaches as a form of job security.
It is a DoD shop, so I may have hit on something there.

All of mine have been renamed to throw the NSA off the scent: "Her Documents", "Her Videos", Her Music", and so on.

Labels in Assembler, C, C++, and C# all end with a colon so spaghetti code could be a factor, and so do case statements.
Pascal assignment is ":=" which is more likely.

well he's right, coding is easy
getting the compiler to stop whining: a bit harder
optional - post implementation review: any mistakes that come out surely it's the data and/or operator error (unless she is pretty) and/or corrupt windows installation.
so once that is done what else is there? pay me!
