Hi,
I just downloaded everything I need to write some web forms. I have been
searching everywhere for a SEARCHABLE class library but I can't find one
anywhere. I found the .net class library on the microsoft website but you
can't seem to search it. Very frustrating! I remember that Java had an
excellent class library that was easily searchable but why can't there be
something similar with vb.net!!
And what about the compiler that ships with it. COMMAND LINE!!! It is not
much fun typing in lengthy commands all the time and then discovering you
have missed a reference library. I have looked around and there is very
little available in the way of a compiler with a GUI. How can this be?????
And development tools.....I downloaded ASP:NET Web Matrix and I thought it
looked pretty good but soon discovered that it cannot assemble class files.
I also had a look at SharpDevelop but it was buggy and the documentation was
virtually non existent.
Of course I understand that microsoft wants me to spend alot of money
purchasing visual studio.net but I want to check it out before I do that.
The problems I am having are making that very hard.
Can anybody point me in the right direction or offer any constructive
advice??
Thanks.
