aspx thread: Is Web Matrix any good ?


Message #1 by "charles levere" <charles.levere@b...> on Tue, 5 Nov 2002 14:42:56
Does anyone have experience of the free
Microsoft download 'Web Matrix'. It is
a graphical tool that lets you create
.aspx pages by dragging and dropping
components.

Is it anygood? Are there any other tools?
Are there any publications about Web Matrix
yet?

Any comments anyone?

I had a go with it and quite liked it- the two things it does'nt do (which
are a pain) are:
1)code behind pages
2)Compliation
 
it is also quite lightweight and does'nt slow down machine like VS can (Bit
like homesite for DotNet)

Thats my two penetth


Cheers

Sam

HI Charles,

I tried to download WebMatrix and play around just for a while after i 
review portion of the tutorial.


It is a very good editor tool for developing asp.net in vb/c#, as it 
generates very neat code. The difference between using the VS.net is 
that VS.net will generate Code Behind after you draw the Web Form 
Control in Disign View and it also generates Inline Style.  If you just 
want to develop a simple web application and does not care about using 
Code Behind, for myself i will go for Webmatrix as the code is very easy 
to look at and is also free.


Austin
