Hi, I just would like to know if visual studio .Net 2003 is the right application to update ASP pages. For I know, ASPX pages are made and updated with visual studio .net 2005 and above version. I just want to know if I am right. The thing is I have a task to update an ASP website and they told me to assess if I can do it. Hope that someone could help me.

Tnx 

VS 2003 ias targeted to the 1.1 framework.  2005 is targeted to the 2.0 framework.  2008 is targeted to the 3.5 framework.  Soo8 can also be targeted to other frameworks, making it probably the best option.

Can I use visual web developer express edition or The whole visual studio? I've tried opening an active server page on visual web developer express edition 2008, and this what showed up in the window

Server Error in '/Desktop' Application.

This type of page is not served.

what seems to be the problem here?hope you could help me again, tnx 

Hi,

Classic ASP pages are served by asp.dll which is mapped to .asp extension in IIS (ISAPI) so that asp page must be handled by IIS.

In your case, I guess you are using ASP.NET built-in server. If so, you can try to deploy your website in IIS, and then use VWD to open it (File -> Open Web Site -> Local IIS -> Select your website on IIS).

I hope this helps.
