Sure, with HttpHandlers? “Anyway, people think MonoRail is the unique alternative to WebForms, but you can build websites with plain CLR objects without any problem.”

My reasons to choose AspView were the same as you expose here. And about MonoRail, the web looks horrible but the documentation at least for the basic tasks is not so bad. You only have to worry about deriving from Controller, the view engine ( AspView is very similar to webforms without server controls ) and how to communicate between them. Believe me than in 1 hour you can have a decent project running in your machine. But MonoRail is VERY flexible, so you then have FormHelpers, automatic mapping of Http values to your business objects, active record with NHibernate, intercepting filters, IoC, Javascript abstractions and so on. Avoid that until you understand the basics. Anyway, people think MonoRail is the unique alternative to WebForms, but you can build websites with plain CLR objects without any problem.
