The reason I’m asking is tvanfosson’s (first) comment to his answer to another question of mine where he said (about ASP.NET MVC): “The lack of server-side controls is due to the inherent separation of concerns that makes MVC a good development pattern..”.
I surely know ASP.NET server controls, and I think I know MVC design pattern, but I don’t understand how server controls violate MVC.

Thanks.

    Found the answer on “Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework” by Steven Sanderson (page 5)

    “…in reality developers are encourged to mix presentation code (e.g., manipulating the server-side control tree) with their application logic (e.g., manipulating database data) in these same monstrous code-behind classes.
    Without better separation of concerns, the end result is often fragile and unintelligible.”
