Thank you.
What does the downloadable SDK do?

I have both. I use FP when I need to make client-side changes to a page.
FP is very good and this. But for server-side code, VS.NET is the way to
go.

Cor has provided a link to a good FREE tool to get you started. Visual
Studio does come in several "flavors". First, you need to decide which
version (2003 or 2005) you want/need and then you can pick the flavor
right for you.

It doesn't "do" anything. It is the Software Developer's Kit and it contains
lots of extra documentation and samples as well as a few additional helpful
tools that run at the command line.
 
Thank you, Scott and Cor. You have been very helpful. I have installed the
VWD and tried it a little. It looks like I need to learn Visual Basic before
I can do a lot with it. Is that what you think? I already know HTML well
enough to manage.
 
Also, is there any connection between VBA and VB for asp.net, or are they
completely separate languages?
 
Yes, you sure will need to know a .NET language (such as VB.NET) before
you'll be able to do much of anything.
 
VBA is when you write VB 6.0 code and embed it within an Office document.
This is not applicable to ASP.NET.

ASP.NET is not a language, it is an architecture for client/server
programming. HTML/CSS/JavaScript are the basis of the client side code and
one of the .NET languages is needed for the server side code. This is where
the VB.NET comes in. You won't be able to do much server side progamming
without it.
 
Dancer,

VBA and VBNet use a same semantic.

The same as C and C# does (and JavaScript)

For the rest in both situations it is a complete different use.

If you would know Dutch than the same as Dutch and Afrikaans however, than
in the same anology many more differences than English and Americans.

Scott,

Re: the following statement

"I have both. I use FP when I need to make client-side changes to a page.

Do you create the asp.net code in Visual Studio, and then import that page
into FrontPage to publish to your website?

You can publish with either tool. I originally created my sites as FP sites
and published them that way, but then (when I wanted to add .NET
functionality), I created a new ASP.NET project (locally) and imported my
existing FP stuff into it.

When I need to make a client-side change, I open the site (local) with FP
and make the change(es). I then use FP to simply upload the new or changed
content.

When I need to make a server-side change, I open the site (local) with
VS.NET and make the change(es). I then recompile and use VS.NET to publish
the new code.

Scott,

I am confused as to how you can use both to publish to the same site. I
have to publish (i.e. make changes) to my FP website using FP extensions. I
cannot FTP pages. My website is on a Windows server.

Thanks.
 
Also,
Have they come up with a patch in Visual Web Develop Express to delete
projects? I have too much wasted disk space with experimental projects I
don't want. I do not want to mess with my register.

Thanks.
