Visual studio or other development tools still exist?

I know it's a bit like drawing on a cave wall with a charred stick, but I
have ASP web applications in production. I use Visual Studio 6 and Windows
Server 2000 as a local development platform to maintain and extend them. I
was needing to get a new computer, and wondered:

Do newer versions of Visual Studio even handle vbscript and plain old ASP
anymore?

I am not sure if my old Visual Studio 6 would even install on a newer
operating system now available, even if the nine-year-old CD is still
readable. Do any ASP development/authoring tools still exist that can be
used on new machines?

VS2005 and 2008 still support ASP and VBScript coding. VS 6 will install
fine on Windows 2003 server or XP SP2, I've not tried it on Vista but I
can't think why it wouldn't work.

If you production asp apps are running in IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0 I would
recommend you use XP or 2003 server as an OS, Vista comes with IIS7 and
whilst that should still run ASP fine it does takes you some distance away
from what your production servers are actually using.

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I rather write it using Visual Studio .Net? Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in Access?` The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

MS Visual Studio Ad contained in VS Magazine. Two developers in "hip" clothing diagramming out a huge flow chart on a beach.

Re-invent the dev tools every 3-5 years in the name of progress and hope developers don't notice -- good revenue generation for MS,...

I came across a rather interesting article this morning and thought I'd share. We all know that Visual Studio is a great IDE, but I think we can all agree that it is adds a dramatic change to how we write code. I'm not posting to talk trash or start a flamewar, just wanting feedback in regards to the following article. I happen to use Visual Studio on a daily basis and am not a John Rivers alter-ego. ...

In the book: "Working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005" Craig Skibo wrote: "The power of Visual Studio 2005 lies in its ability to empower users to build, test, and debug powerful applications quickly and easly." I don't agree on what concernes ASP .NET Web Sites in VS2005. All what involves Namespaces in Web sites has been disappeared. I know you can still MANUALLY manage them, but not QUICKLY and EASLY.

I have a 2 form project in VS2005 that now hangs whenever I try to do anything with the second form. This seems to have started when I added some SQL tables from a Pervasive v.9 database using the Pervasive ODBC driver.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
