Web Design sans VS.NET

[GUIGUERI]

Is there a way to work with .NET in a web/graphic design capacity that will allow the developer to modify code and view it on his machine without sending it to the server to be compiled or without needing to purchase all the VS.net tools?Sure....You can use whatever you like. Notepad, DreamWeaver, HomeSite, you name it.However, vs.net will save you tons of development time.Also, if you are writing in vb, we just bought vb.net, which is vs.net with vb only, for $109 from Microsoft. If you want to write in other languages then you would need vs.net
