    Microsoft discontinued a lot of development tools/platforms over the years. The one that has a big impact on our company is the Active Server Page. We still have a lot of "Pages" that need maintenance from time to time without the development environment - Visual InterDev. It is a pain. What is the next to discontinue? SharePoint, Entity Framework, Windows 8?

      Are you suggesting to use NotePad++ for ASP development? It does provide nice color coding for the code.

          Certainly must be nearing the front of the queue, they've been pushing the far better MVC for a while now and old ASP.net is a mess I'm sure they'd like rid of.

          Very true, I think as well MS have been trying for a while now to win the hearts and minds of the open source crowd (with limited success) who generally look down as webforms as 'not real web development'. I could see them ditching webforms as a way to win them over (which wouldn't work) while simultaneously giving a middle finger to the millions of dedicated webforms devs out there (which would work).

            While they were busy discontinuing stuff to usher us over to WEight, I simply discontinued developing for anything made by Mickeysoft.

            The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
            I hold an A-7 computer expert classification, Commodore. I'm well acquainted with Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries. The basic design of all our ship's computers are JavaScript.

                      If you're looking for a cold shower, I'll suggest MS reverses course again and discontinues the classic desktop completely. :omg:

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                              Windows 8 is perfect for novices and experts, the middle suffers. It is amazing to see people furiously clicking through menus instead of learning a few key combos. Try Win+X anywhere. Win+X,U,U[^] for those who doesn't have an ATX power supply Try Win+<1..9,0> on the desktop (Win7, too) Win+R (Win7, too) Win+arrows (Win7, too) Win+[Shift]+Tab (Win7, too)

                                    The only people that suffer with windows 8 are self proclaimed computer experts, people in the middle have no trouble with windows 8, not does anything that has the ability to learn something.

                                        need maintenance from time to time without the development environment - Visual InterDev

                                        I'm confused.. why can't you continue to use the old IDE? Was it cloud based? Did they revoke the license to it? Did you lose the installation media?

                                        We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

                                          Lost the installation media. It is not available in the MSDN subscription download. Thanks,
