studio is the way to go. webmatrix is for those on a budget.

Rusty,
Although Alvin recommended Visual Studio, here's my two cents. I've found
Visual Studio to be great for everything but webforms. It's HTML handling is
terrible and you're forced to use the Inheritance code behind model (which,
I've thought was a bad choice from day one, and am thrilled to see it no
longer required in VS2005). I use Dreamweaver, and the "Code-Aside" model
(<script runat=server src=myPage.aspx.vb>). You'll find VS.NET easier to
use, but I think you'll have a much better end product by going wih
something that handles HTML much better and doesn't use the Inheritance
code-behind.

WebMatrix is free, Visual Studio.NET is definitely not free.
You get what you pay for.

Code behind is no longer required; VS2005 has good support for using a
single file for your HTML source and server code.
Inheritance is still used in VS2005, although much of the boilerplate code
is now hidden behind the scenes.

Currently VS.NET pretty much forces you to use a code behind. If you want
to do single page, it's not easy or supported well like it is in WebMatrix.
In VS.NET 2005 this is fully supported with full intellisense.

1. Code behind has never been required.
2. Inheritance is not used for ASP.NET classes anymore, rather partial
classes, which introduces the idea of a code-beside model.

You're correct that code behind has never been required, but it is difficult
to do the single file method in VS.NET.
I believe you're wrong about inheritance not being needed in ASP.NET classes
anymore. Underneath it all, your page is still inheriting from the Page
class.

Yes, you are right that it still inherits from Page. I thought your
statement was directed at the fact that your .ASPX is a subclass of your
code-behind class.

why don't you use visual studio? Don't get defensive. This is a genuine

Hi Alvin
I started using VS when I was learning .NET and wrote a few initial
web projects in it. I should mention that I normally use .NET for web
apps and VB6 for desktop apps.
The main reason I use Notepad is because I'm not doing project based
apps. I've built an assembly which does most of the work. Most of the
webpages are relatively simple but the few which req a built more
substance have a simple codebehind page (using src).
The main thing I miss about VS is the Intellitype. Its a pain having
to find which assembly a class belongs to eg PagedDataSource.
