Building ASP.NET sites without Visual Studio?

[Roy]

Is it even possible? I mean, realistically possible?

I've found info on how to get .aspx and .vb pages to talk to each other
without using VS, but I can't find a single way to get a .ascx user
control page to talk to other pages. Anyone have any info or links on
this matter? PLEASE chime in with your thoughts.

Thanks!

It's very possible - I've built functional sites with only a text editor,
but you may find it better to try the free, community supported WebMatrix
development tool from www.asp.net

hmm....

sorry about the lack of formatting there. let me try again

String MD5String(String strToEncode) {
ASCIIEncoding objEncode = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] btToEncode = objEncode.GetBytes(strToEncode);
MD5 objMD5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] btHashed = objMD5.ComputeHash(btToEncode);
return BitConverter.ToString(btHashed);
}

I've tried using WebMatrix, but it doesn't solve my problem. My main
issue is that I cannot get a user control (or it's corresponding
..ascx.vb page to talk to other .aspx pages... Make sense?

I'm using the user control as a component of another .aspx page (or at
least trying), but I can't find any syntax online on how to reference
all the varying pages in my web app without using VS.

I did find a brief blurb mentioning how one could get a .aspx and
..aspx.vb page to talk to each other, but the same code does not work
for .ascx pages...

Um, no, I don't quite see what you mean - user control talking to _other_
pages? as in, not the parent page that it's embedded in?

perhaps you should clarify. maybe I'm just missing one key point.

It was simple. I figured it out. Like so:

<%@ Page Language="vb" Inherits="Tier2Grid" Src="tier2.aspx.vb"
Debug="true" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="UC_Grid" TagName="Nested" Src="newtier2.ascx"
%>

Without using VS, one must use the "inherits" and "src" tags to
reference pages in notepad. The user control Register reference is
independent from the .vb page references. I'm prolly not making sense,
but if you ever have to code your .NET projects using only notepad,
you'll understand my frustrated gibberish.

OK, now I think I'm following you. good to see you've got it sorted.
