I never teach the wizard method of .Net programming in my classes. 

Especially since the iSeries drivers don't always work correctly with
the wizards and the FREE Visual Studio versions don't include all the
wizard functionality anyway.  

In most cases it's better to understand what the code is doing anyway
and the coding is relatively simple with .Net so why not get your hands
dirty right away. 

That being said the drag and drop form design for Windows and Web Apps
is not bad.

Yeah, I've already gotten out of the design view for the most part.
But even dragging controls from the palette and dropping then into the
code is pretty nice and the execution is well thought out.  As much as I
wanted to hate .NET, I just don't.
