ColdFusion Subroutine question

I am trying to get some information in regards to CFML and subroutines. Does ColdFusion have anything equivalent to a subroutine in VB? Would that be the CFC?

Thank you!

codlfusion has functions, you can place them at the top of the page or you can enclose them in a CFC.

Here's quick useless little one as an example...

<cffunction name="contatinate" access="public" output="false" returnType="string" displayname="">
       <cfargument name="firstName" required="true"/>
       <cfargument name="lastname" required="false"/>

       <cfreturn arguments.firstName & " " & arguments.lastName>
</cffunction>

what do you want yours to do?

Essentially we are comparing CFML to the .net platform to decide whether or not ColdFusion will the best programming language to support us. We are using CF for our websites. More and More complicated forms are being asked of us to create, and a lot of the requests we are getting is now pointing us towards web based applications. We are just trying to determine if our current language will support us, or if we need to change to the .Net platform.

I would suggest coldfusion as it will be much easier for your developers to learn, and your development times will be shorter. There is nothing you can do with .Net that you can't do with coldfusion. in fact the new version of coldfusion (8) includes .NET support.
