setting up a dev. environment (visual studio, dreamweaver, IIS, .NET 2.0 framework)?

Question

just started programming, trying to set up a dev. environment on my PC. I like the Visual Studio IDE for coding vb.net but I like dreamweaver better for the actual page deisgn process. Anyone know where i can find a tutorial or explain how to set up Dreamweaver to work with IIS/.NET installed locally? Visual Studio and Visual Web Dev work fine and I can see the pages I have been coding in Dreamweaver but when I preview the page in Dreamweaver it says i need to specify a test server and server technology. I cant seem to get this working.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Can't help with dreamweaver, but can recommend an alternative.

It appears that what dreamweaver is trying to do is put the files you're trying to preview on an actual web server to actually preview them.

Answer 2

do you have a decibel meter placed in strategic listening points balanced? this may solve the problem except uncontrolled reverb and then you d have to have cushioned walls, well good luck

Answer 3

If you have IIS installed and running, then "localhost" will work as your server.



IE: http://localhost
