    Looking for that free Vis Stud download link

    Hi all,

    A few weeks back (maybe less) someone posted a link to msdn where they had a free version of visual studio .NET for testing/learning purposes.

    That would be awesome if someone could point me to that link. I looked an dlooked but I cant find it

    Thanks!

    VB.NET is under the pic of the guy who looks like he got a haircut at his local butcher's.

    Was that it? I didnt think it was a beta... hmm.

    I am looking to make ASP.NET (with VB.NET mostly) pages with a new book I have "Programming ASP.NET" from O'Reilly.

    I wanted to make the examples - I learn better that way.

    Bear in mind that WebMatrix doesn't compile code-behind. You have to compile it yourself using the command line tools.

    You don't exactly need the Visual Studio IDE. If you have FrontPage or anything really for that matter, you can use write it straight into your web page.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    I thought .ASPX files were pre-complied on the server, implying that they wont work as just a text file like the classic ASP 3.0 pages could be. I thought they had to be compiled somehow for them to work...

    They are compiled even if you are not using code behind pages.

    If you change the code in the file it is compiled on the first request and is cashed. (if i remember right)

    They are compiled - the first time the page is run. The resulting IL code is then put into cache. So, even still you can build ASP.NET in notepad, and upload it to the server and it will run.

    What happens to the original file? Can it be re-edited in notepad? I guess you can tell I am an ASP.NET noobie LOL!

    Yes it can. When a page is requested, ASP.Net checks the cache, if the file is there, it checks the compile times (a datetime stamp when it was compiled) to the file's last edit time. If there's no diff, the pre-compiled cached version is used. If the source file is newer, the cached version is thrown away, and the new source gets re-compiled and stored in the cache.
