Hi,



I have recently upgraded to Windows 200 professional. I want to 

develop,

test and run .net applications. What do I need in terms of tools, 

utilities

for the same? More specifically...



1) Do I need to install both Visual studion.Net (Beta 2) and .NET SDK?

2) Do I also need to install ASP.NET SDK?

3) If I install IIs 5.0 with Win 2k professional, will I be able to run

asp.net applications



So many terms are floating around...this is what has prompted me to ask 

this

rather elementary quetion. I just want to know what I need to have on 

my

machine to develop and run .net applications.



thanks in advance!

I compile an aspx page in visual studio .net and when i runm it the IE 

=3D

6.0=3D20

browser doesn't show it. If i do a right click to see source code of 

=3D

the=3D20

html page, it shows the code of the aspx page. This means that the page 

=3D



hasn't created the html response. If i do the same with an asp page, it 

=3D

is=3D20

shown correctly. What is the problem?=3D20



I reinstalled visual studio several times and the problem continues.

Ankur,



I'll try and answer your questions in a way that makes sense, if not,

I'm sure others will add as necessary.



1)  No you don't have to install Visual Studio.net, you can just

download the .net framework and you can just use notepad.  However,

Visual Studio gives you a complete IDE, with debugging, syntax and

countless other features, so it really makes sense to use it.  Also, the

framework is included with the vs.net installation process, along with

other associated components that are required such as the correct

version of mdac.



2)  No



3)  Yes, as long as the framework is also installed.



Basically, if you want everything to work, then just have Win2k with IIS

and associated components, and then install VS.NET.



John...

Thanks Mark,



I really appreciate your email. A lot of things have been sorted. 



There is something that still confuses me...that is...



1) If I install just VS.NET, does the framework not get installed too?

2) Where do I get the framework from...is it the same as .net sdk beta 2?

3) When u talk of an IDE, is the framework IDE different from VS.NET?

4) If I install VS.NET, is that not sufficient develop and run .net

applications?



Thanks, once again.

Dear Ankur,



Like you, I have recently startting using .Net.



I purchased the Beta2 pack from Microsoft, which arrived very quickly, and 

was very cheap (they only charge for postage).



Here is what I did...



1) I installed Messaging (MSMQ) from control panel. (Required for .NET if 

you want to do MSMQ progamming.)



2) I installed IIS (Internet Information Services) from Control Panel. (You 

need this to develop ASP.NET applications and Web Services) - No need to 

configure it - the defaults are fine.



3) I installed SQL Server (recommended if you have it).



Then I ran the Beta2 install CD. The Beta2 CD includes Windows 2000 Service 

Pack 2, which it automatically installs.



(When it gives you the option of which components to install, you can accept



all the default options, you don't need to change anything, EXCEPT, if you 

have the hard disk space, I would reccomend that you install MSDN onto your 

local hard drive as well.)



The install process took a long time - over an hour, and it reboots a few 

times. You can give the install program your administrator username and 

password, so that when it reboots, it can log itself back on and contine 

(clever!).



I am happy to say that my install of .Net went very well. There were no 

errors at all - I was very surprised! I installed it onto a Toshiba laptop 

with 10GB hard disk, and 360MB of ram.



You can install JUST the framework if you want (downloadable from microsoft)



but then you will not have an IDE - You will have to develop all your code 

from notepad and use the command line to compile - not reccommended - The 

.NET IDE is *amazing* the best IDE they have ever made. If you can get the 

Beta2 CD's then get them! It makes your life a lot easier!



Regards,



Mark Wills.

Ankur,



1) Yes

2) Yes, www.msdn.microsoft.com

3) No Visual Studio is the IDE

4) Yes, but you still must have IIS installed and be running Win2k



Thanks



John...
