Question on Ajax development in Dreamweaver

Hi All,

Because our vendor has all along been using Dreamweaver for developing our website, we've got a set of Dreamweaver 8.

But I've trouble understanding how should I integrate ASP.NET Ajax and develop in Dreamweaver? Is it possible?

Or is Visual Studio (full version of express version) the only right choice for web development in ASP.NET Ajax?

Your guidance is appreciated.

thanks,

For developing websites using ASP.NET 2.0 (inc Ajax) Dreamweaver 8 is virtually useless. It doesn't even understand what to do with a .master file, and will attempt to open it as plain text. Dreamweaver 8 was developed before ASP.NET 2.0. Without any doubt, VWD or VS is the way to go.

As above but also I used to use DW8 ($$$) but gradually moved over to VWD Express (FREE) as I found it offered more to the programmer, especially if you are doing any amount of Javascript (integrated Javascript debugger in VWD)!

Put it this way, it's not going to COST you anything to use VWD Express :-)
