ASP.net With DWMX

[Leeus]

In Dreamweaver Mx when creating a new ASp.Net with VB page a new tab appears offering some controls, these seem limited, I have searched for some add-ins, has anyone found any good ones?

I was just reading an article about this. For WYSIWYG, DWMX beats Visual Studio .NET hands-down, but code wise it's a little limited.

There is supposed to be a nice .NET code editor called "PrimalCode" that will give you all sorts of coding options... the author of the article suggested that if Macromedia and PrimalCode were to get together they could give Microsoft some serious competition for the IDE (especially if they built in database connectivity).

But dreamweaver MX does have database connectivity. :confused:

It can connect and display tables, create tables etc show recordsets create recorsets etc. And for most of the major database types.

I'm using DWMX exclusively now. As long as the control is in the \bin you can reference it in DWMX.

For coders like me. (Hand codes mostly) the only "limitation" is the programmer's knowledge of ASP.Net. e.g. remembering that the String.Split() function in a Class needs the reference
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions (wasted a few minutes banging head on desk)

Otherwise Visual Studio .NET still leans towards IE formatting.
