In Viual Basic, we can use the Visual Basic Editor to do all the coding. 

With the VB Editor, you will know the Properties/Method of the particular 

object - e.g. if you place the Text Box control onto the Form, during the 

coding you can just type the Text1. then all the Properties/Method will be 

listed in the drop-down menu so you can just select it from the list after 

the Text1. , how nice... also, if you make any syntax error, the error 

message will be prompted when you try to continue to the next line, how 

smart it is... So, my question is what is the best editor for ASP? So that 

I will know the properties/method of the particular like VB. Please advise.



Thanks in advance.

Philip,



This list explicitly targets ASP.NET. In ASP.NET the

IDE's of Visual Basic and C++ have been integrated (FoxPro

is still out in the cold). They have IntelliSense the

IntelliSense capabilities.



However, if you are using Visual Basic 6.0, the best

way to get into Classic ASP development is to use

Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0, I have also heard

positive comments about Macromedia's UltraDev product,

but I haven't used it personally.



One of the big differences between ASP.NET and Classic

ASP is that ASP.NET is strongly typed (which is what

_REALLY_ drives IntelliSense because it can look up

the meta-data for each class), on the other hand Classic

ASP is not Visual Basic, it uses a Variant Data-type

for everything.



Hope this helps.

Okay.



The Beta does ship with an IDE called Visual Studio .NET. It's fairly 

stable, and obviously a prototype of the IDE Microsoft themselves would 

prefer you use when the final version of the framework (and all its 

supporting software) finally ships.



However.



The .NET framework _itself_ now handles all the compilation, so the IDE 

itself isn't integral to the code: it's just a pretty way of looking at it 

while you're writing it. 



You can actually use any text editor to write .NET code. So, you could use 

textpad, if you wanted. There are some other IDE's for C# code, such as 

Antechinus (http://www.c-point.com/csharp.htm). However, I doubt the same 

will be true of VB.NET code, as yet, since it's such a Microsoft-

proprietary language, and it's syntax is still on the move.



You could probably even (God help us all!) use Word, to write ASP.NET code, 

if you really wanted (although what the paperclip might have to say about 

_that_, is anyone's guess... "It looks you're trying to instantiate the 

SQLconnection object. Do you want me to: A) Instantiate it for you in 

future, without asking? B) Just leave you alone? C) Underline everything in

red and tell you you've spelt it wrong?")
