Quicker Web Projects

From getting started to debugging to deploying, everything about Web projects is streamlined in Visual Studio 2005. To start with, you don’t need to install IIS or FrontPage extensions—the IDE automatically creates a Web site for you to run and debug your application locally. Visual Web Developer, which is available in a free Express version, includes everything you need to begin building dynamic Web applications with ASP.NET 2.0, including ready-to-run Starter Kit applications.

As you get deeper into your project, you will appreciate many new time-saving features, such as IntelliSense, to help you check your CSS page directs. Work flows faster now that you can save and refresh to see immediate results of your latest changes, rather than constantly re-compiling and re-building your project. When debugging, you can add methods, classes, pages and code in the project, and then refresh the browser to step through without closing or detaching the debugger.
