Hello?

Am I the only one here in the Lounge? Just wondering what everyone's favorite tool for building a website is and has anyone used Visual Web Developer? If so, what do you think about it? :) thanks Dirk

VWD is just a cut down version of VS2005, AFAIK. I use VS2005, so VWD should be fine. But, I never do any drag and drop stuff, I just write the aspx/html code directly. The VS drag/drop stuff was at one point destroying the HTML, dunno if that's been fixed.

visual webdeveloper is good for asp.net development. For normal HTML development I use expression web. I also have expression blend since a couple of days, but I haven't really tried it yet for designing graphics for the web.

VWD (and VS2005 as well, as it is essentially the same) is terrible when you want to design table-less standards compliant websites. The preview is usually quite broken. Expression Web does a surprisingly good job, although I still had to tweak a few things. Now, my dream is to merge VS2005 with Expression Web, so I could have the visual designer taken from EW and the rest from VS, that would be something.

Kind regards, Pawel Krakowiak

Definitely Notepad. That way I have complete control over the code and it is a hell of a lot easier to maintain.
