They are available for testing only right now. Note all of those products you mentioned are BETA software.
You won't find ASP.NET on any commercial host yet since there isn't even a "go live" license for it yet, just beta builds. There are lots of improvements in Whitbey/Visual Web Developer over the first release of Visual Studio.NET for the web developer. Seems someone at Microsoft has woken to and realized that web development IS DIFFERENT than Windows development and that web developers don't work the same was as windows programmers. BTW, even if you don't have an MSDN subscription you can get a copy of the Whitbey beta by ordering the CD http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/ The new membership and login classes are really nice. Too bad you can't use them on a production site yet. Cheryl D. Wise Certified Professional Web Developer MS-MVP-FrontPage www.wiserways.com mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 713.353.0139 Office -----Original Message----- From: Scott Glasgow Yes, and there are some very interesting, ==FREE== development tools available to work with asp.net 2.0 and other MS technologies. See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/ for availability of SQL Server 2005 Express, Visual Basic 2005 Express, Visual Web Developer Express, etc. The later provides a remarkably capable, streamlined way to create and maintain fully-featured data-driven asp.net 2.0 sites full of bells and whistles. The only drawback I can see is the (relative) paucity of providers currently supporting this level of asp.net. I would imagine that, in time, that will change. ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
