How to debug DW ASP.net code?

Hi,

I'v been working with DW & ASP for about four years and lately I'v been trying to change ASP to ASP.net . I'm developing dynamic web-applications which often require advanced scripting. I'm little confused by how DW handles ASP.net code, since I haven't found any documentation about how this is done. It seems to me that DW has custom component functios for each controller, such as dropdown menu. In old Asp DW generated while -loop where data was thrown from dataset as in any general scripting language code, but ASP.net version seems to generate only predefined component. Is there someway to access this component, for let's say, advanced scripting? Let's say that I have dropmenu with following items:

1,john
2,wayne
3,otto

Now I want to access this dropmenu so that DURING select-list creation I'm able to parse parameters. I want to do something when loop finds "wayne" from the list. Is there any way to extract this component to general code?

Another simple but frustrating problem I'v been having is that I haven't found way to echo / response.write SQL dataquery for debugging. How can I echo querytext (commandtext) ?

It really doesn't. If you are serious about ASP.net, then use VS.net as your
IDE. DW can't compiled code nore debug ASP.net. It also can't deal with
ASP.net 2.0 much at all.

If you want to stick with DW, then consider moving towards PHP instead.
