    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.

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

        Can you run/execute code within the environment (NotePad++)?

          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?

            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. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                    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.

                            Are you serious about EF? Version 6 was released not long ago and 7 is on the way.

                              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.

                                      Unfortunately no. I googled it and followed a number of links but they led to nowhere.

                                        Microsoft promotes SharePoint heavily. I did some serious development in it with InfoPath. Unfortunately, InfoPath is gone. Have not heard anything about the future of SharePoint.

                                          Just joking. :-D SharePoint is a good platform but InfoPath left a lot to be desired, namely since it stored all attachments in the form there was a limit to the number/size of attachments that could be stored. Another problem came if you changed the form, all prior saved forms needed to be saved with the new prototype form. Additionally all workflows started with the previous forms were broken. It was never something to be used in production. You say it is gone now. Good riddance. X|
