ASP+ development tools/ V.Interdev?

Not yet... visual studio.net or visual studio 7 will be the new one... there
is an application to get in the beta.

Currently, you can either develope it as an .asp page for the initial design,
and rename it before moving it to the server, or do the lame 'add existing'
in interdev, and set the filter to all files, and do a right-click->new text
file and rename it to add it to your project, but interdev doesn't know what
it is and edits it as flat text.

Visual Studio.NET +is+ the new name for Visual Studio 7.0. (They are the
same thing).

Yes, the only way to get on the beta will be to sign up for it. A link to
the beta is at http://www.dev-archive.com/free/press/2000/vsnet/vsresources.asp

Thanks for the help!
This should tide me over until the .NET release!
Much appreciated!

One trick is to fool Visual Interdev to recognize .aspx pages as an
ASP page. It doesn't give you the full features of that an ASP+ editor
should, but it sure beats Notepad.

If you save the following text (between but not including the BEGIN and END
Line) into a vbs.reg file and double click on it, it will register .aspx as
a valid extension for Visual Interdev. Please note that this has worked for
me on WinNT 4.0 and Win2K and I make no guarantees. As always, when editing
the registry, be careful.
