web design in .NET???

Morpheus · 2004-10-27 09:40:57

hi lads, just wondering as a .net developer, is it possible to design a website and have it hosted using ASP.NET??? What are the requirements for this??? Would it require users to have the .NET framework installed? Should i just use dreamweaver or frontpage instead?

Asp.net will run on a Windows server under Internet Information Services. The server will have to have the .Net framwork installed. Users will only need a web browser but you may run into issues with server controls if they're not using IE.

Any hosting company offering windows hosting on server 2003 should be able to offer you asp.net
If you aren't sure of what's available ask around:

be warned though that dreamweaver templates get destroyed if you bring em into webmatrix! so if you are designing using dreamweaver, you may be best off sticking with that for the .net development - the latest versions have special support for ASP.NET.

also evil phil had a good point about users not using IE. some features of .NET e.g. validation controls behave differently based on the browser used to view the site. ASP.NET pages behave differently depending on whether the visitor has a "high level" or "low level" browser and - you've guessed it - the only high level one is IE so you would definitely need to take special care to test your site with other browsers to ensure it's still usable...
