Web Development with SharpDevelop, Web Matrix, and DBGCLR

Web Development with SharpDevelop, Web Matrix, and DBGCLR

Nice article on using all free IDE/dev tools to do productive .Net development.
Not quite as easy as using VS2003, but hey, it's free and IS do'able.

"Visual Studio.NET 2003 makes development a whole lot easier than it ever was before. But what if you have to develop a web application and you do not have the power of VS.NET 2003 available to you?

I would hate to be without Intellisense (I’m spoiled), debug support, and many of the other features that VS.NET 2003 provides. There is a way to accomplish this developmental challenge with the following three tools:

SharpDevelop, the free open source .NET IDE, has just been released as Fidalgo RC1 (6/16/2004). This development environment does not support debugging, or ASP.NET development. However, SharpDevelop is a great product and it is worth getting excited about.

SharpDevelop’s IDE is very similar to VS.NET 2003; it even has a version of Intellisense. I felt right at home here.

Web Matrix, the free ASP.NET IDE was released by Microsoft to support ASP.NET development. This IDE does not support debugging, Windows development, Intellisense, and many other niceties of Visual Studio.NET 2003.

DebugCLR (DbgCLR.exe) is available in the .NET Framework SDK or with Visual Studio. This tool allows the developer to step into managed code without the need of Visual Studio.NET...."
