As mentioned Adam D. Ruppe has nice libs for web development, he managed to 
make a living out of it too so he must be doing something right :)

There is one other web framework for D2 called serenity, I'm not sure how 
far it is but you can check it out here:

https://github.com/mrmonday/serenity

Perhaps this is unnecessary to mention, but would you choose ASP.NET, I'd 
recommend against webforms and look into ASP.NET mvc. If haven't used the 
latter myself but I didn't like webforms too much and heard good things 
about the mvc framework. 

Good luck!
