Seriously though, closing your tags is just good practice. You then know where a tag should start and end and parsing text through e.g. Regex is much easier. Ever tried parsing an HTML document that didn't close all its tag properly and didn't follow any strict standards? I have and it's a nightmare.
XML + XSLT => XHTML FTW!
Don't I feel stupid. We used the event driven model in our last WinForms application. I'm so deep into my current ASP.Net project that I totally lost the plot.Some components can register them selfs as being interested in some event. Another component can throw a event and the components that are registered as being interested in that event needs to be notified that the event happened and the relevant data needs to be passed to that component.
