Rob,
Only support ASP.net and nothing that requires the FP extensions, so that leaves out FP and VS.NET
users.

Have you tried Cassini? I think it's just for asp.net stuff, and localhost only since there's no
security. I haven't p layed with it...just curious.
| Would you look up the word 'choice' in the dictionary Murray?
| It would also be refreshing for a change if knowledgeable
| people stopped insulting the intelligence of others asking for help.
| Thos people asking for help may be ignorant and bereft of knowledge
| but that does not neccessarily mean they are stupid and want to stay
| that way.
|
| Would you know if Cassini requires a registry hack? It would likely
| provide another alternative.
