So if it ran on anything but microsoft it would be acceptable? Is that ABM fanboy speak? As far as I know VS2005, and VS2008 work in Mono on other server OSes. What I enjoy about VS is that your code is re-usable between projects. There is an easy to follow debugging environment that spans workspaces. So you can jump between GUI code and back to the middle tier, perhaps to the DB. I see your argument as being because it is only for M$ servers it is not appropriate. I see it as the tool set that it delivers outweighs the server lock-in. Isn't it great to have an opinion? :) -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Web and Windows Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
