Re: No ASP.NET in express edition ?

The express products are broken down so that hobbyists can dabble and create
apps for the environments they are looking to work in. If you expect to
create full blown apps for web/desktop/remoting, integration etc. then they
expect you to buy Visual Studio.NET which has all the tools combined. The
VWD has the extra bits to drag and drop asp.net controls onto forms, and
invoke test web servers, its a really easy install and great for a free
product so give it a try.

Are you looking for this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/
?

Well, no I was not, I am coming from a desktop programming background
(BASIC not VB, Delphi, C++) I know very little of web technology
details beyond static HTML. I've looked briefly at Javascript but I
don't really understand its useage.

The idea of a "web enabled" application is kind of understandable, it
is like a desktop app but the server and browser are acting somewhat
like the OS UI, right ?

Actually I was wondering why there is no "ASP.NET" project type in the
C# express edition, and if it exists in other versions. When I click
new project there is no ASP.NET option.

Visual Web dev looks interesting, but there again it adds to the
confusion. What can't it do on a web app that ASP.NET / C# can do ?
