FP 2000 and ASP.Net side by side

Is anyone using FP 2000 server extensions and ASP.Net side by side on the
same web site?

Are they at all compatible?

If so how are you using them in your development scheme?

Are there parts of the structure that don't work?

Any tips for developing and deploying?


Thanks in advance
 
This environment shouldn't cause any problems. In fact, I use FrontPage 2000 for ASP.Net development although it doesn't have any of
the features that VS has.

Yes.

No problems whatsoever.
If so how are you using them in your development scheme?

Primarily using FrontPage for design, but using Visual Studio .NET to
deploy. I am actually using FrontPage 2003 beta right now, as it works much
better with ASP.NET.
Are there parts of the structure that don't work?

Have not had a problem right now, but I work very hard to keep code in my
CodeBehind files to avoid the UI design tool (FrontPage) from hurting my
code.
Any tips for developing and deploying?

I would deploy using Visual Studio .NET. If possible, try the FrontPage 2003
beta, as it is much nicer on your code, et al, plus it has Intellisense for
ASP.NET tags. If you are not using FP bots, turn them off on the server
completely (they are being phased out for new funcationlity anyway in the
beta, so there is not a lot of need to continue with them).
