I thought I'd be the first to post about it....
I've been using MX '04 since yesterday morning (the trial). It's a lot better than the previous better. Somethings may not be revolutionary, but it still makes it a lot better.
I haven't messed with CSS, but according to them it's going to work this time. There'a an easy to use code snippet function. You highlight some text, right-click, "add as snippet" and boom, its available to any other page you work on. Great for those common functions you use on almost every page. Also, the right-click context menu has a "functions" option, it will display all functions/subs on a given page and takes you to that function. Pretty handy when you go to a functions page (like the forum here) to get to a function without scrolling or using "find". Or to quickly to a function or sub on a page youre working on.
So far, I rate it a positive.
Gremlin, youve been using VS for everything? I have it here and everytime I mess with it I don't find it "friendly".
I find it a lot smoother, it doesn't bog down like before. |

Yeah I have, I pretty much only ever use "code view" rarely use WYSIWYG anything to design pages, for some reason I just seem to like the VS code view but can't really just say why I prefer it ... maybe I'm just weird :) |

I've been meaning to try again. I can never use the WYSIWYG feature of any editor. Even if I wanted to the minute yo introduce variables and include files it stops working anyway (that can be discerned anyway). |

I use the WYSIWYG view (or "design view") in Dreamweaver to make the template on which I base all pages. I then switch to the code view to clean the codes and make them more the way I want them to, and then I start cutting the template up for includes. It makes the whole designing a lot faster for me.
But as Snaayk said, once you're using includes and variables the design view is pretty useless. |

okay, I decided to give it a quick test run (FINALLY) and check out the .NET stuff. For some reason on a really simple test I am getting this Parser Error:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MM" Namespace="DreamweaverCtrls" Assembly="DreamweaverCtrls,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=836f606ede05d46a,culture=neutral" %>
Here is the simple code I created using Dreamweaver MX 2004
<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MM" Namespace="DreamweaverCtrls" Assembly="DreamweaverCtrls,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=836f606ede05d46a,culture=neutral" %>
<MM:DataSet
id="DataSet1"
runat="Server"
IsStoredProcedure="false"
ConnectionString='<%# System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("MM_CONNECTION_STRING_databind") %>'
DatabaseType='<%# System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("MM_CONNECTION_DATABASETYPE_databind") %>'
CommandText='<%# "SELECT * FROM fha_users" %>'
Debug="true" PageSize="10" CurrentPage='<%# IIf((Request.QueryString("DataSet1_CurrentPage") <> Nothing), Request.QueryString("DataSet1_CurrentPage"), 0) %>'
></MM:DataSet>
<MM:PageBind runat="server" PostBackBind="true" />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<ASP:Repeater runat="server" DataSource='<%# DataSet1.DefaultView %>'>
<ItemTemplate><%# DataSet1.FieldValue("mUsername", Container) %><br />
</ItemTemplate>
</ASP:Repeater>
</body>
</html>
any ideas? |

| okay, apparently there is a DreamweaverCtrls.dll file that is supposed to go into a /bin directory. However, I can't find this /bin directory. I kind of feel like a knucklehead right now, but can someone elaborate on this a bit? |
