spoiled by visual web developer 2005

I have discovered that my web appl developed using the visual web
developer 2005 freebie will not work on my godaddy.com web hoster. So
I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003 Enterprise Architect dated April
2004 from an expired MSDN subscription.

Visual Studio .NET 2003, is that the latest Visual Studio for ASP.NET
1.1? Is there a service pack available for install? I dont see one on
the Microsoft web site.

The reason I ask is because I am finding I miss the features of Visual
Web Developer 2005. Is MS going to release VWD 2005 soon so commercial
web hosters can support it?

I can get used to the code behind classes being mandatory in ASP.NET
1.1, but I am finding VS 2003 clumsy as it fails to keep all the code
in sync as I alternate between Design and HTML view.

For example, in VS 2003, I copy HTML or web controls from one .aspx
file to another. Then I rename the just added elements. Which turns out
to be a hassle because there is a lot of code behind code that is not
correctly renamed to stay in sync with the HTML code changes.

Am I just using VS 2003 wrong? Is the editor smarter than it appears?

thanks,

-Steve

Hi Steve..
I haven't really used Visual Web Developer.
But try using ASP Web Matrix!
I believe any .NET code you write with that would work anywhere.
Hope that helps

Nope. you are sol until 2005 comes out in '06 (believe me, it will be '06).
You've highlighted a few bugs in '03 that you'll just have to live with.

Visual Studio 2005 is scheduled to be released in the 2nd half of this year.
I'd bet it will be toward the end of the year.

I need to build an ASP .NET application. Currently, we are using visual web developer express edition. We would like to switch to the Visual Studio 2005 to do the rest of the coding. Is this transition fairly straight forward? Also, can VS 2005 do everything that Visual Web Developer can? Thanks. Syed Ijaz

I had Visual Web Developer Express 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 installed on my computer. Realizing that I did not need Visual Web Developer Express 2005 since I had VS 2005 I removed it. My question could this be a possible reason that the ASP.NET configuration tool is not working in VS 2005 when I am doing web development? What happens is upon execution it just brings me back into the same VS design page from where I executed.
