If you have iis setup and has enabled .net 2.0 for iis, you shouldn't need any thing other than notepad to develop asp.net sites.
All the assemblies required for asp.net are installed with .net 2.0. There is no need to download anything else for ado.net or vb.net to work.Don't know much about the resource files, since you are going to install vs2008, you can use that to create resource files etc. I still thing you should use vs because it would save a lot of time with it's code completion feature. You can still write asp.net tags and learn with vs and not do drag and drop development. Deploying asp.net sites is mostly copying files to iis, does not make any difference if you are using vs or notepad. Yes you can compile and turn your site into assemblies with vs and deploy them rather than copying pure code files.

I would like to build some WebSites using Asp.net and NotePad, or some Asp.net friendly text editor, rather than Visual Studio. Will I need to download Ado.net and a vb.net Editor / compiler along with Asp.net? Does Asp.net use assemblies and manifests and what about resource files and CodeBehind or Business Objects? Finally, I will download Visual Studio Pro 2008. Anyone loaded VS over the SDKs, or the other way around? I would like to be able take the VS Generated code and build standard Asp.net pages and code or resource directories much like they do in PHP ApacheMySql HTML environment and copy them directly into my brand new shiny IIS..
Any good books or tutorials?There is one example on the GrabBag if I remember. This seems the only way to learn in-depth Asp.net programming instead of drag, drop and pray.
Thanks:Rick USA
