1 edit | Visual Studio & Visual web developer vs Sharepoint designer
Hi all,
This is my first time to post in this forum. I'm a student working on a semester project (no I am not asking you to debug code, so please read on  ) to develop an application. I'm going to be using Visual Studio 2008, in which I have experience using, but I have never placed an application on the web before, which I will need to do for this project.
So like the title says, whats better to use to simply build a web front-end to host a .NET application? All I will need to do once I create the application is to have it put on the web. The application won't need to be integrated into a website per se, it will just need to be accessible from a website (if that makes sense). I may have some ASP.NET controls to work with the application.
I've got visual studio 08 & sharepoint desinger 07, but I have also heard about visual web developer 08, but never used it. What do you all think would be best tools to use given my scenario? I would like to keep it all .NET and as simple as possible.
Thanks in advance!
-Mark

| visual web developer is build into visual studio.
in the free copys the desktop apps and websites are two diffrent pages.
if all you are looking to do is to make a page you can download your app on make an install file and host it somwhere.
if you are looking to make somthing that runs will out being install look into make the app as a asp.net or siverlight app. (this you can do better in vs2008 then VWD but not by much.) |

Ok, thanks ahammer  . What do you think about sharepoint desinger though? I think I will need the app to run on the web without a download taking place, but I could be wrong.
From what I've heard, Sharepoint is just an advanced front page, but it seems like it can do much more advanced things.

Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition is a free version of Visual Studio that is limited to building ASP.NET applications. Either would be fine, but since you already have Visual Studio just stick with that. (There is no "downloading or install files" that needs to take place)

Although it seems similar to FrontPage, Office SharePoint Designer is specifically optimized to work with the SharePoint platform. I don't think it would be a benefit to you.
