Hello, all. We want to develop our ASP.NET apps on our networked test
server, but have heard that Frontpage Server Extensions must be installed.
Is this true? Thanks.
 
No, you don't. All you need is to install .NET Framework on IIS. I used to
use Notepad to build the an Asp.net web application, including all .dlls +
aspx pages, FTP to my ISP without having FP server ext.

If you are using Visual Studio (taking advantage of "code-behind" feature),
it's convenient to use Frontpage ext. But again, it's not mandatory, cause
you can access the files by Network share.
 
No. It's optional.

Thanks for both answers. However, I don't think Visual Studio can let you
create an ASP.NET project over the network unless the extensions are
installed. It keeps giving us an error, 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server
Error'. The server has .NET 1.1 installed, but I guess will need the
extensions if trying to create a project? Thanks.
