Hi folks

 

I built a basic ASP.Net site with a database using Visual Studio 2010 as part of a project in college. However since finishing college I've deleted the monstrosity that is VS2010 and started using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.

 

What I'm hoping to find out though, is whether or not it is possible to go back over this ASP site in Dreamweaver and modify it (at least modify its appearance, if not the actual database as well)?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You've got it the wrong way round. Asp.net is the monstrosity.

I'm curious as to why so many people are against ASP. Is there a technical explanation?

Don't know why the others are, but personally I found Microsoft's way of doing things needlessly overcomplicated compared with PHP and also I didn't like the whole suite of programs needed to work with the thing.

 

That said, ASP.NET and C# developers may well land some of the better paid jobs for those looking for employment.

Agreed

It would be difficult for you to work on without the products you mention - particularly the MSSQL - you either have to accept Visual Basic and the other spinoffs or move away from it all together towards PHP/MySQL

ASP is fine, in fact, rather good. ASP.Net is not. Viewstate is a good starting point to look up why it is not rather good.

Outdated, so moot point.

Please expand how "outdated" makes it no longer good? It was a good simple scripting language before MS rolled out .Net and ceased updating it. Plenty of websites, even ones being developed now are in ASP Classic.

MOOT POINT irrelevent to the debate

Blame BrightonMike for that.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

 

I don't mean to say that I have a problem with ASP.Net as such (my programming skills are extremely limitied), however - as someone said above - the VB software has so many spin-offs and takes up an incredible amount of space on my machine.... and I really don't have much space as it is!
