web-based systems that is backed with MS Access Database.

u can use ASPWEBMATRIX or VS.NET depending on what type of Application u'd
like to build!

 

[A P]

thanks for the reply. How about the pros & cons? I am merely new to these
applications that is why I do not have the right to compare th regards to
functionallity. My purpose of using/choosing this software is to speed up in
system development(as what others says to these softwares). I currently use
Frontpage/ASP(manual encoding) to develop systems that will help me to
eliminate the use of MS Access as its frontend application, we substitute
web browser that really save software licenses. If I will be using these
software, how can this help me & our company save time & money(ROI)? Hope
you understand my point.

It depends what tools you nees. VS.NET is a very large suite of tools for
developing large applications that use a variety of tools. However, for
smaller, simpler application,s the Web Matrix is probably the way to go.
Start off with the Web Matrix and if you find it too limiting, you can
always move to VS.NET.

Thanks for the inputs! Can you provide me a table of comparison between
these two softwares? Hoping for positive results.

WebMatrix lacks support for intelisense (auto complete), debugging and
source control, but has the advantage of being free.

Do you think that is the only difference? In terms of wizards, does VS .NET
have wizards? (sorry for being such a geek, I don't have a copy of that
software and I only have WebMatrix.

VS.NET has some wizards (Typed DataSets, Database Connections, Data Forms,
etc.), but not a lot since they don't really suit an IDE,

I use VS.NET at work and WebMatrix at home for small personal projects
because its free. I dont know WebMatrix very well. I have just pointed
out the features I miss in WebMatrix to chose it for professional
projects. I dont know which wizards you need, but there are some wizards
in VS.NET. I think its more a question if you want to pay for your dev
environment (and more features) or not.

The main differences between them :

With Web Matrix you can't compile source into Assemblies.
With VS.Net you can.

With Web Matrix, there's no Intellisense.
You get Intellisense with VS.Net.

Web Matrix is only good for .Net 1.0/1.1
There will never be a Web Matrix for .Net 2.0

VS.Net will always be updated for future .Net versions.

How about Visual Basic .NET compared with these two softwares? Is there any
advantage with regards to web development?

Have you already done something using 1.1 ?

If starting fresh I would go for ASP.NET 2.0. Web Matrix doesn't existe any
more. They just provide different flavors of VS 2005, the Express edition
being free.
