Migration to Web Matrix from VS.NET
The title of this entry is migration to Web Matrix from VS.NET, sound strange ? reverse? huh?
I wrote this entry because I saw a quite interesting thread from the Forum today - view post.
4 FAQs about using Web Matrix had been asked by the poster in a single thread! I'd like to mention 3 of them:
- Is it possible to write Code Behind page in Web Matrix?
- Is it possible / How to build 2 files (.aspx and .aspx.vb) into a single DLL?
- How to import namespace as in VS.NET?
Yes, that's the commonly ask question/query for people IF they're not using VS.NET to write ASP.NET. I tried to answer these question in this thread but that's true: Imagine you don't have VS.NET but you have to write some code in urgent, then what would you do?
We're still alive and we won't lost our ability or knowledge even we don't have VS.NET handy, which is actually a TOOL or IDE for writing code, and what we need eventually is the .NET SDK and a text editor.
BTW, I'd like to highlight a couple of reference that on top of my head:
