when i was doing .net programming way back in the day asp.net handled each navigation with a javascript event and it broke all that stuff. this was right before ruby on rails existed so maybe it’s better now.

This was specific to Web Forms, a now-deprecated framework that did a lot of implicit state management that necessitated POSTing to the server with an encrypted client-side state called the ViewState.

Its modern replacement ASP .NET MVC works much more like traditional web frameworks.
