Visual Web Developer Question?

Is Visual Web Developer is it worth installing?
Can i use Web Matrix with ASP.Net 2.0?
Cos i know VWDeveloper is meant for ASP.Net 2.0 and not ver 1.1.
Can both run side by side?

on a production machine :)
I'm pretty sure side-by-side support is officially supported in Beta1, but
being beta means nothing is really official :)

re:

If you want to develop ASP.NET 2.0 applications
in a much more lighter environment than VS.NET, yes.
re:
> Can i use Web Matrix with ASP.Net 2.0?
You can, but you won't have any 2.0 objects
that you can simply drag into pages.
Anything you write within Web Matrix will run, though
( if properly written, of course ).
You can use Notepad with ASP.NET 2.0, too. ;-)
re:

Yes. Web Matrix runs against .Net Framework 1.1,
and VWD runs against .Net Framework 2.0.
I'm running them both as we speak...

You ensure that each application is pointed to the
correct .Net Framework version, and you make
sure that all 1.1 apps run in one Application Pool
and that all 2.0 apps run in a different Application Pool.
No big thing. It takes about 1 minute to do that.
They run perfectly side-by-side.

AFAIK it depends on the site settings. "aspnet_regiis" allows to know which
version is running on a particular site...

Thx for the advice..
But on installing both...
Would i still need to do some extra setup ?
I mean will the 2 versions install seperately?
So when i run apps on Asp web Matrix it will use ver 1.1 and Visual
Developer wpould use ver 2.0?

Can i use Appl pool on IIS 5?
And how do u ensure each apps is pointed to the right one.

no, but then you can only run one at a time..which should sitll be
acceptable in development...when you install 2.0, a new tab in IIS shows up
to switch which version it's running under..else you could use aspnet_regiis

My personal choice is using Denis Bauer's
ASP.NET Version Switcher.
http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/...onSwitcher.aspx
Denis should get a medal for writing this app.
