I have an idea that might be patentable. I'm a one-person startup and boot-strapping the business.Has anybody here launched a startup and later got a patent for their idea?Did you file a provisional patent first before launching your product?Thanks.
I'll send you an email.
There was a related thread a few weeks ago.
What I believe is good with .Net is the 3rd-party support (free or commercial). The Visual Studio tool is also very easy to use and ramps up your development.
Have you tried Data Access Application Blocks? We use them and we only need 1 line of code to read the database.
SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(strConnTxt, CommandType.Text, strSql);
Alternatively, you can use SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset.
We also use Code Generation software that builds all the CRUD methods automatically.

You can look at craigslist to get a feel of startups using .Net.
