Which is the best editor for ASP?

Question

Hi friends,

I am currently developing a program in Microsoft Active Server Pages. I need a best editor for editing:
Microsoft Active Server Pages (Classic ASP)
Microsoft Active Server Pages .net (ASP.net)

For ex: Everyone knows about Visual Basic programming and the best editor is Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (Part of Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0). The same way I need an editor for ASP and ASP.net exclusively.

Thanks.

Answer 2

You asked for a asp specific editor. Microsoft interdev in one you could try. Its a part of Microsoft visual studio suite. Another is the Microsoft web-publish which is a part of Microsoft office suite.

Well, if you wouldn't mind paying a small amount for a large return, then I think you would be very glad to have WeBuilder 2007 http://www.blumentals.net
which is good for not only asp
but also all the other website-building languages - html, css, js, php, etc. - excellent support, entirely customizable, internal page previews, etc.
Worth at least investigating...
