re:

If what you're looking for is a tutorial, you can study the samples in the SDK.
It should have been installed when you installed Visual Studio 2005, at :
drive:\VisualStudioInstallationDirectory\SDK\v2.0
You should have a local copy of the QuickStart at :
http://localhost/QuickStartv20/default.aspx
If not, while you set it up, you can see it online :
http://asp.net/quickstart/aspnet/Default.aspx
If, for some odd reason, the SDK isn't available to be installed, you can download it at :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx
Browsing the .Net Framework classes with the Class Browser helps, too.
See it at :
http://asp.net/quickstart/util/classbrowser.aspx
or locally, if you installed it, at :
http://localhost/QuickStartv20/util/classbrowser.aspx

You can also get a lot of pointers at :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/learning/default.aspx
Microsoft offers 4 free Visual Studio e-learning courses at :
https://www.microsoftelearning.com/visualstudio2005/
( plus others for pay... )
Finally, you can take the skills assessments ( free ) at :
http://assessment.learning.microsoft.com/test/home.asp
When you complete the assessment, you'll get a a learning plan that
recommends books, e-learning, classroom training, and MSDN resources.
re:
Also, have they come up with a patch for deleting projects?
You, still, have to delete the directory where the project is located.
The next time you open the IDE, you will be prompted for deletion from the MRU.
Somebody said:
I didn't see a tutorial, except a brief overview, which included using
intellisense. Is there one? I know nothing, so the overview didn't help
me.
Also, have they come up with a patch for deleting projects?
Thanks for replying.

Easily...
You can program in VB.NET with VWDE.
You can also program in C#, or J#, of course.
When you install the MSDN library (documentation) for VWDE,
you will have a complete VB.NET reference which you can lookup
from inside the VWDE IDE.
Ken,
How can I learn VB.net using this Visual Web Developer Express?
Thanks
Hi Sandra,
Sure! Just install Visual Web Developer Express (free download) on
XP
Home SP2.
VWDE comes with a built-in local Web server, so you don't need IIS.

Ken,
Thanks for your advice! One more question:
At home I have XP Home. Is there ANY way I can develop and test asp.net on
this computer?
