As with HTML files, ASP is also a plain text file. So, you can even edit the ASP file using Notepad. Of course, there is a specially designed code editor that can make your work easier.
First, Visual Interdevvisual InterDev is a very powerful integrated development environment that Microsoft has specifically launched for developing ASP programs.
1, the ASP code can be color recognition, automatic completion of code. For example, you type "response." After that, VI will automatically response the method of the list, for you to choose.
2, vi with a code base, call the design of the DTC (Designtime control), can be very simple to achieve the form processing, database operations and so on complex functions.
3, built-in database management tools, can be directly to the database query, modify the work.
4, within the RS (Remote Script), supporting the server, the client code calls between.
5, the Group development cooperation management function, supports many people to develop a website at the same time.
However, the vi for HTML editing support is not enough, in the design of the page effect, can not be handy.
Second, homesite if your site is not big, ASP program is not very large words, you can use Allaire Company's homesite Edit your ASP program. As an HTML code editor, HomeSite's support for HTML can be said to be the culmination. Color recognition, automatic completion, prompt help, and so on, can make your HTML editing very easy.
In HomeSite4.0, simple support for ASP is provided. There is an ASP toolbar with symbols commonly used by ASP. HomeSite can also automatically make several commonly used words of ASP to highlight, help read code.
Third, there are many other editing tools to edit the ASP. As long as it is a code editor, you can simplify your editing work, you can choose according to personal preferences. such as Ulraedit, hotdog and so on.
It is best not to edit the ASP with the WYSIWYG editor. I have used FrontPage 98 and Dreamweaver 2 to create a confusion over the error recognition of the ASP code.
