Does Visual Studio 2008 support classic ASP development?

Hi

Does visual studio 2008 support classic asp development?

It's been years since I created a classic ASP website and I was wondering if I can use my current toolset or if I have to resign myself to notepad.

Thanks

Matt

I know VS 2008 now includes Intellisense and Debugging feature for classic ASP, so thats make me think Yes.

Be sure you get the Service Pack 1 version.

brillant thanks, I read a post online which seemed to suggest that classic ASP wasn't going to be supported... must of misunderstood

It wasn't supported until SP1

Yes, VS 2008 SP1 does support ASP. You need SP1 because they had removed some of the intellisense, but added it back in SP1

Yes, as others have mentioned, VS 2008 SP1 supports classic ASP.

However, if, like me, you find it a bit of a behemoth for the relatively simple classic ASP, give Notepad++ a try - no need to resign yourself to plain old Notepad!

On a side note that might be relevant, Visual Studio 2010 also supports classic asp
