    Default Getting started in a Dev Environment.

    Hi,

    I am trying to get started with making some major modifications to my site. I am a Data Warehouse Developer with strong knowledge in SQL Server. I have little experience in C# or VB or ASP.NET.

    How would you suggest I get started in this endeavor? Right now, I have a dev website but it still points to the Production SQL DB.

    Am I able to us MS Web Developer Express?

    What are some basic steps to getting started in this?

    Step 1 is to setup the site, and full .sln (solution) on your dev box, with local db, and get the .sln to fully load in VS.NET and make sure the site loads properly (out of the box) on localhost (or your dev box IP, whatever you are using)

    Then you can think of doing coding

    You'll need to change the DBConn connection string in the dev website web.config file to point to your development db

    VWD will work, but I believe you'll need Visual C# Express to recompile the code (how I started before going for VS2008 full version)

    Good luck
