Visual Studio 2003 lacked the ability to move an ASP.NET web application up to an FTP server from within the IDE. One of the new attributes in 2005 is the built-in Copy Web Site feature that gives you a side-by-side comparison of your local site & your FTP server. It's OK at best. It's slow to...

Shame on me for being too old-school... In sticking with my methods of large-site development, I've continued down the SSI path when there was something else out there so much easier: Master Pages! http://blogs.msdn.com/dannychen/archive/2006/04/05/569316.aspx For a bit more reading on using Master Pages, check out these MSDN library links: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wtxbf3hh.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.masterpage.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ehszf8ax(VS.80).aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s57a598e.aspx#vbconwhatsnewinvenusprogramming Microsoft IntelliSense technology. Statement completion is now virtually everywhere when you edit Web pages. The IntelliSense technology helps you create code in both code-behind and single-file pages, markup tags, page directives, and so on. Simply my absolute most favorite statement in the new Visual Studio 2005 reference docs. This is probably one of the only reasons I am willing to deal with all the crap of converting and migrating all of my projects from Visual Studio...

I am Jeremy Helms, 27 year old graphic designer, web designer, site architect, programmer, copywriter and ambitious entrepreneur. I was born and live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. This site is my personal periodical for design, code, business and other topics. When I'm not glued to the computer, I enjoy music, movies, late-night television and sometimes a good night out on the town with friends.
I began professional work in the IT industry 12 years ago in September, 1995. I started my first business in 1998, incorporated my second business in 2001, my third in 2002 and my fourth and most recent in 2006. I am a sponge — I am constantly exploring and learning — about business, design, programming, history, society, and whatever pops up on blogs across the web.
