VWD 2005 express edition and web-based game development?

VWD 2005 express edition and web-based game development?
Sun, 17 Feb 2008 20:42:38 +000
Dear friends,

I want to develop a wb-based game application. I have vb.net and asp.net
knowledge. As far as i know i have to learn C++ for this. But i do not want to
learn it know. Is it possible to develop a web-based game with VWD 2005
(vb.net)? 

Thanks for your support?

Best regards....

You are very limited using just VWD, which will allow you to use clientside
javascript or server side code..  You need some kind of client-side programming.
 This can be done using Flash, SilverLight, Java (not javascript) or ActiveX. 
You certainly don't "need" C++ for this.

Mikesdotnetting thanks for your answer. So, I think if using AJAX with VWD 2005
is possible, it could help me to write both server-side and client-side code at
the same time. Am i right? 

Thanks in advance 

Best regards....

I'm not sure what you are asking.  I think you may benefit from getting hold of
a beginners book on ASP.NET, which should explain what it is and how it works.
