Development Environment setup?

[Guest]

I had asked this question about a week ago, but never got any feedback. I am
going to post it again:

I need some advice on how I should setup my development environment. I am
developing in ASP.Net with VB.net (.NET 2.0). I am working with multiple
sites. Some sites that use SSL are on two separate servers (in production). I
work alone and do not have a team of developers. In the old days of classic
ASP I had a development server that I could host all my sites on. To develop
in ASP.net on that same server I need to install FrontPage server extensions.
That has been a real mess. I gave up on that. I was using VSS 2005 and the
server extensions would mess up my source database for some reason. I also
had trouble with the FP-SE not allowing me to log in. I don’t mind developing
everything on one XP development machine, but wanted to get peoples opinions
on how I would set it up. What is the most effective way for me to work on
multiple sites on an XP machine? Has anyone tried developing sites on a
server without server extensions? I am using windows XP and 2003 if you
hadn’t already guessed. Since some of my sites, in production, have separate
server for SSL, would I need 2 separate projects? I guess I would. Thanks to
all who respond.

I am using windows XP and 2003 if you

hadn't already guessed.

What is "2003"? Is it Visual Studio.Net 2003?

If so, you will have to use FrontPage Server extensions. If developing with
Visual Studio 2005, you can use file-based webs. It has a built-in
development server for ASP.Net.

..Net 2.0 so I am using VS 2005. Thanks
