Can dreamweaver cs5 support asp?

Hi

I don't usually work with asp and wondered if Dreamweaver cs5 could support making changes to a classic asp page? Years ago it used to be that you could not open an ASP page in dreamweaver or it would overwrite the database strings.

Do I need to do anything to Dreamweaver to create / amend asp pages in CS5 ? Does it support ASP?

thanks

Jane

It must have been many, many years ago. I've been using DW since MX and it never did that.

It depends. Are the existing pages using DW server behaviors? Which programming language is being used?

You can code in ASP and still create the pages as far as I am aware.  However, official support has ended as of CS4 due to ASP and .NET being propreitary code thus putting DW at a disadvantage all the time.  So basically the functions are out of date, so you should probably be comfortable hand coding database connections and other functionality for ASP/.NET.
