I am learning ASP.NET and am following SAMS 21 days ASP.NET.

The book tells me about the technology and VB.NET and how to write everything without using any editor just simple notepad. It becomes difficult to develop and debug an application without a proper environment/editor (this is how I feel).

With few assistance from the internet I have come across the Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 express edition (IDE). But am unable to study it further as I dont have any guide book that follows the environment. Any suggestions regarding this.

I would like to learn ASP.NET following a book which explains the workout using IDE. My preferred language would be C#. Hope I am able to explain the difficulty am facing. Any help/suggestion will help me to move forward.

Thanks.

I have posted my issue and its been 3 days and no-one turned up. Is it really a difficult one?
Can anyone of you guys who are experts in the platform suggest/advice me.
Thanks

I've heard from a friend of mine that these are good books.

Here's a quote from their website about that particular book:


#2: It teaches development the way it should be done today, using Visual Studio
Today, no developer should miss out on the productivity features of Visual Studio by using limited tools like Notepad. So section 1 in this book shows you how to use Visual Studio 2005 to design, code, test, and debug multi-page web applications that get database data and manage session state. Then, later chapters cover VS tools like the Query Builder and the Web Site Administration Tool.
