DWmx vs Vis Studio for .NET site
I'm interested in hearing from someone who has experience with Visual Studio .NET and can compare it with using Dreamweaver MX for .Net pages. In particular in problems and advantages in using them together.
My impression is that VS has some real advantages in terms of working with databases (SQL2K) where as I'm very familiar with working with DW. (Used InterDev for a while a couple years ago but nothing since).
Given the db-centric aspect of my project I'm sure I'll be using VS for that part...how will DW 'get along with' VS code and vice versa
thankx

The best practice is to create a site structure and code the web application in Visual Studio .NET, then use DreamWeaver MX to modify the pages and user controls with graphics and styles. Try not to do it the other way around, since VS.NET often doesn't display the pages made in DreamWeaver MX correctly.
In short, both can be used on different tasks to achieve more effective results.
