So I am an old web forms guy and new to the MVC (in general, not only ASP.NET) framework. My views are starting to look a lot like the good old classic ASP. Not that i’m adding any business logic or anything, but more of a presentation logic. I end up with a lot of <% %> tags and if/else statements for deciding links to display or styles to use.

I also thought of deciding the styles or links within the controller and setting them on the model, but sounds like breaking the MVC purpose.

I end up ignoring the <% %> to make sure my HTML is well formed.

I want to hear your opinion. Are your views the same as mine? Am I doing something wrong?
