Stupid question. Can Visual Studio.NET code normal ASP pages or does it only do ASP.NET pages?

You can use notepad to code an .asp page :D

I think what you are asking is whether the .net server will render .asp pages. I will find out tonight when I install VS.Net along with its framework or whatever the hell they are calling it now hehe. But from what my friend says the server( Ibelieve it is IIS6.0) will render .asp and asp.net pages just fine. But after a quick run through yesterday I see no reason to be using vbscript anymore. I was skeptical of .net but after hearing about what it can do I am 95% convinced this thing will rock!

Actually I already use EditPlus to code all of my ASP. :D

I'm just looking for an excuse to get my company to buy .NET.

Yes, VS.NET *CAN* create ASP files. Simply go File->New->Script->Active Server Page.

VS.NET is a replacement for all the constituents of Visual Studio. With that in mind, you should find a Visual Studio analog for everything in VS.NET.

Personally, I use UltraEdit for ASP files.
