Visual Web developer vs DW8

[Guest]

Hi,

I have to move on to ASP.NET to develop a dynamic website for my business. I bought a book ASP.NET in 24 hours from Scott Mitchell that seems to be very good. However he uses for the book exclusively Visual web developer express. Since I am normally using DW8, I am wondering whether it makes sense to use Visual web developer express or whether I have the same (or more?) facilities to do the job in DW8 in which case I can avoid learning another interface and limit myself to one program.

Thanks for the input

I would recommend building the page design in DW and coding it in Visual Studio. Visual Studio is recommended for .NET development.

DW has no support for ASP.Net 2.0 which is the framework you would be
designing in, and it had a very rudimentary support for the 1.1 framework.
So unfortunately you are better to learn VWD.

...then move on to Visual Studio or Visual Web Designer or any of the MS
IDEs.

DW does not and likely will not support ASP.net 2.0
