Thank you Cheryl.

I had visions of finding I was using a newer version of Visual Interdev like controls. I'm finding just what you said - the controls are part of ASP.NET 2.0 and not limited to Visual Web Developer Express. I will be getting Visual Studio 2005 (I have the evaluation edition) as I also do VB programming. When I open it, it appears to include the VWD that had been installed first.

Is there a comparison anywhere between VWD and VS 2005? Apparently ASP.NET is not considered a language the way ASP classic was. VB and C# are the two most common languages for programming under ASP.NET. So what is the difference between using VB and VWD?

which version you need depends on the type of coding you intend to do. The
controls I work with are all pretty much asp.net 2.0 not IDE specific.

From: Diane Schips I've decided it's time to move from ASP Classic to ASP.NET 2.0. Note I never leanred ASP.NET 1.0, I'm totally new to .Net. I have the 90 day evaluation edition of Visual Studio 2005, along with Web Developer.

I remember when I first learned ASP I used Visual Interdev's controls. I soon stopped using them. The more I learned the more restrictive they became. Is this the case with the controls that are included with the current Visual Studio? Should I use them, use them with plans to replace them when I learn more, or keep away from them all together?

What are your opinions of Visual Studio? Is there a different development environment you would recommend?
