Hi, right now I've got the choice between using Microsoft ASP.net or RubyOnRails (http://www.rubyonrails.org/). I've got some experience with ASP.net but Ruby looks very interesting as well. I like its concept and it seems very easy to build structured, interactive sites with it, while on the other hand ASP.net 2.0 has a lot of pre-created tools and controls (i.e. to validate fields etc).

Any comments?

ASP.net it will be a very marketable skill if you choose to leave your current job. Ruby will not!

If I had a choice I would pick RubyOnRails. Validation is also very easy in rails and basic controls are supported, so this is a non-argument for asp.net.
Apart from the framework itself, it also supports best practices out of the box (like unittesting, automated builds).
