Re: Any problems developing ASP.NET sites on Windows Vista?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Actually once we have a host mapped back to the localhost IP we can load x
number of instances of the same website in y number of z types of browsers.
This technique has become the holy grail of website testing. I only use what
is built into Visual Studio when I need to debug because that Cassini is
really crappy compared to the use of IIS7 with real browsers running in
their own process id.

BTW -- from a developers perspective what part about the blogged item was ambiguous?

Hello Alan,

The best thing about developing web sites has become the use of Vista
Premium (entry level platform for web development) and Vista's
support for IIS7. IMO the other versions of Vista are over-priced
g.f.s. skus.

I presume you mean Windows Vista Home Premium there? If so, that's
what the PC I'm looking at comes with anyway, so that's a good start
;-)

Yes Home Premium, Business and ultimate allow IIS to be installed.

Was that the page you meant? If so, I think I missed something...

I will assume you are smart enough to understand the rest of what the
blogged information implies for ASP.NET developers.

Well, I read it, but it was a fairly short entry describing how to set
up multiple sites on Vista. This was a pleasant surprise as I assumed
the "Home" part of the product name implied that it wouldn't support
multiple sites, but I didn't see anything more implied or stated
there.

What was supposed to have been implied there to understand? Did I miss
something?

I'm not sure either...

For example, some aspects of web development have gotten so efficient
and simplistic that we do not even have to submit the HTTP schema to
browsers anymore either. Locally speaking of course and presuming you
understood the blogged item and can follow simple directions to learn
to become extraordinarily efficient when developing on Vista just
submit some request as simplistic as the single letter x, press Enter
and hat particular website will load.

What does that have to do with the blog you linked to?

I have no idea what you mean about x loading a web site, but as I
haven't used Vista, it could just be a new feature I don't know about.
Is this something to do with ASP.NET development, or is it a feature
of IE7?

It's just that you can type the hostname and it will recognise this and
fire up IE. Due to the fact that the start menu also indexes your browsing
history.

Nothing too fancy. Nothing really new either.
