Maybe this isn't the best forum to ask this, but here goes.

I have used FP2000 successfully for my database driven site with
considerable digging through references and an occasional code snippet
from places like this.

But if I wanted to move to a next, more versatile level of database
interaction by the web user, should I be thinking of a different
microsoft product such as Interdev? I am thinking of things like the
ability for a user to easily log in and modify their own database record
-- more sophisticated things than can *easily* be done with FP.

Thanks

ASP.NET and Visual Studio.NET 2003

I would agree with Mike. However, you could certainly use FrontPage or
Visual Interdev to develop classic ASP.

Just keep in mind that Microsoft's support of Visual InterDev is due to end
later this year.

the .net "web matrix" has been re-worked so you might want to look into
that. also there are some tools here:

Good point, Jim. I've always preferred FrontPage for classic ASP in any
case!

The key developing "sophisticated" applications is not by using FP or Interdev and relying on any
built-in components, but learning how to hand code your ASP. I use still use FP2000 for all ASP
development, but do not use any of the FP database components.

I use FrontPage as well when I write legacy ASP, but I rarely do these days.


One disadvantage of using FrontPage is the lack of a debugger.

Definitely. But it is better when it comes to the HTML, and I always used
Response.Writes to do my debugging with classic ASP. Of course, thank
goodness, we have ASP.Net. I still use FrontPage to do the HTML part of my
ASP.Net stuff, and Visual Studio.Net for everything else!

CodeCharge Studio is very nice, and plugs into FP.
