Using Dreamweaver with VS.Net 2005 to make an ecommerce
system

I am going to make an ecommerce website for my dissertation, using ASP, Atlas,
CSS, etc.

However, I was wondering, can I make a set of pages in Dreamweaver, and then
open these in Visual Studio 2005 and then add the ASP code and objects? I want
to use Dreamweaver because of the design possibilities, which VS lacks, and use
VS for the development side of things. I have a few books on developing an
ecommerce system, one of which is a "step-by-step" book, and the first
task is to design master pages. I'd like to do this design in Dreamweaver with
CSS.

 Can anyone advise me on whether this is easily possible and what considerations
should I, er, consider? lol.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, it's possible. You only need to set up a virtual directory in your IIS and
points to your website folder. And run your website as:

http://localhost/ecommerce

assume you name your virtual directory as "ecommerce"

I did a whole e-commerce site in Dreamweaver. I didn't even use VS2005 (I didn't
have one at that time). I used dos prompt to compile my DLLs. Simple. Not a big
deal. =) Good Luck.
