getting started in asp .net

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this, but I have a general question regarding asp .net. I'm just getting started using asp .net and I wanted to know if more people use the smart tag wizards provided or write all the code manually when developing an asp .net site. I just built a simple asp .net site that interacts with a sql server database allowing users to insert, update, delete and search for records in a gridview design. I accomplished everything using a sqldatasource and following the smartTags provided and I had make some modifications to the source code for validation controls. 90% of the application was done using smartTags. I know there is more to .net than what I put together, but the site looks pretty nice and accompishes its goal. Do you find yourself writing more code or using the wizards when building applications? 

Thanks,
