ASP.NET Web Matrix is a community-supported, easy-to-use WYSIWYG application development tool for ASP.NET. It can be installed via a quick 1.2 MB download (about 5 minutes using a 56Kb modem). Best of all — it's absolutely free!

Normally I would say this is the not an ad forum...but...WOW! This is excellent. I recommend everyone to get this. If you dont have VS .NET, obviously that is a good reason to get it, and if you do have VS .NET, this is faster and feels cleaner.
Excellent IDE.

This is a must have for any one doing ASPX coding without VS.Studio(lack of IntelliSense will annoy Studio users).
I downloaded it yesterday and am VERY impressed that MS could create something this clean and lite-weight(only 1.2 MB download ??!)
It even comes with it's own "lite" WEB server for those who have no use for all the bells and whistles of IIS.
And while it doesn't create CodeBehind DLLs(a plus in my book), it does generate DLLs for any Webservice you want to access.
Very cool.

another thing that is cool is that it only requires the 21 meg framework. So even though you couldnt run the IIS stuff with it, and they say its for 2000 and XP, it may still be installable on 98/ME so you could at least build pages on that as VS .NET doesnt isntall on 98/ME. Heck they didnt mention NT 4 in the specs and I was able to isntall it on NT and it works fine.
NOTE: There are some bugs still in it and features missing since it is just a preview, but it still works great, and beats notepad and VS .NET hands down.

How could u do that? do u need only the wsdl file?
Yes.....Click on "Tools-WebService Proxy Generator" and put the link in to the wsdl and it creates and compiles the webservice class for you.Quote:

Very nice.
That can be done also at a command prompt but Matrix makes it easier.
so, when it produces a .dll file, this file could easly be used in other languages, like java, to call the original webservice methods and properties , am I right?
There are a number of different languages that will work with webservices. C++, C#, VB and (Microsofts version of Java), J++ will work. I found a COBOL version that was re-designed to work with .NET that worked(looked REALLY freaky tho :) ).Quote:

But.....regular Java isn't going to know squat about Webservices.

No the .NET dll will not work with other non .NET languages. They will have their own way of calling the web services.
