Visual Web Developer Starter Kits

The ASP.NET Starter Kits are sample ASP.NET applications that provide code to accomplish common Web-development tasks. Each sample is complete and documented so that you can use the code to quickly start your ASP.NET development projects. Some starter kits were created when Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 shipped. Through the support of the ASP.NET community, more samples have been added since then.

Note

The ASP.NET Starter Kits are unsupported tools. As a result, Microsoft Product Support Services cannot answer questions about the Starter Kits. However, you can post questions about the starter kits on the ASP.NET forums Web site, where community members who have experience with the kits can help you.
