Microsoft Web Expression VS DW

I downloaded Microsoft Web Expression Beta and have been
favoriably impressed. I think they have been spending a lot of time
looking at DW and borrowing the best. I am frankly surprised that
this isn't like all the other fat-dogs that MS creates as
programming tools. I wish wish wish DW/Macromedia/Adobe whoever
would update DW for ASP.net 2, it would not take much to be able to
go toe-to-toe with web expression.
http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/web_designer/default.mspx
Just my 2 cents.
Please... no need to chim in and say "use VS 2005". I do, its
an 800 lb gorilla for most small to mid sites.

Ya,
Just finished downloading whooping 214 mb web designer from
microsoft site, and installed without any hassle.
I had a little time to have a quick look. My quick look has
given the judgement that DreamWeaver is going to loose the loyal
community soon, if it will not take asp.net 2.0 support into
consideration.
Web Designer comes with plenty of css templates and very good
support of Css, XHTML and Asp.net 2.0 Master Pages, ASP.NET 2.0
Templates (DWT) and full visual support for all commands of asp.net
2.0. ( Buttons, Forms, Dropdowns, Links etc..... ). The CSS works
great in IE and FireFox.
I strongly suggest each designer/developer to install and
experience themselves. You have nothing to lose and ofcourse gain
more just free.
Here is my My personal suggestion to those working on asp.net
2.0 and cursing DW8 for asp.net 2.0 support........................
Stop Cursing, start installing and experience the great tool
totally free Till February 2007. May be DW8 comes out with a
solution till then. And if at all it does not come out, you still
have a much better tool and experience with you.
I will need some more time to explore web designer at length.
After all an excellent combination of Web Designer and Visual Web
Developer is the future for every successful designer/developer.
I do suggest other members to have hands on and post some
remarks, so that others may judge/decide/benefit too.
Thanks

  • Microsoft Web Expression Killer

    This is directed at marketing, but please pass it along.
    I run a development group for a software company. We are
    starting to build some of our products to support alternative web
    type interfaces.
    Since we are primarily a Microsoft development group we
    looked at Web Expressions vs. Dream Weaver.
    We also subscribe to MSDN and pay 10K for what is supposed to
    be a universal subscription service from Microsoft allowing us
    access to all Microsoft technology. Recently Microsoft has started
    to alienate it's developers and it's turing into a bit of a fiasco.
    They have decided not to distribute any Expression products
    as part of the MSDN subscriptions. This has infuriated 100's of
    developers but Microsoft has not bugded. To add insult to injury
    Microsoft has offered us a $99 dollar upgrade path based on the
    MSDN subscription.
    Many developers are threatining to jump ship to DreamWeaver
    unless they include it in the MSDN subscription, again Microsoft is
    not giving in and are just figuring that for $99 most developers
    will cave.
    Here is a free idea for you. Offer a promotion wherein anyone
    that sends a screen shot of their MSDN subscription can buy
    DreamWeaver for $99 (same price Microsoft wants us to pay for a
    product we should have for free via the subscription) and also why
    DreamWeaver is superior.
    Now advertise in MSDN magazine, and maybe put it on code
    project. Bill and Steve will sh.. their pants and I guarantee that
    the developers will remember who did what for whom vs. to whom.

    Too late - I already requested my refund....

  • My database not listed at SQL data source in Web Expression 4

    Can anyone help me out?
    Am not sure whether this is the correct place for my problem.
    I set up SQL Server 2005. Created a database named "employee" and a table under it "emp_info"
    I tried to connect it from Microsoft Web Expression 4 through SQL Data Source control. Well, the connection test is successful but the database i created is not shown in the drop down. However, it shows the system databases. 
    Again i create the table under one of the system databases, and tried to connect it. Those system tables which are there from before are only available to connect but not the table i newly created.
    I have checked the properties, permission of the table as well as the database. Nothing is wrong there.
    Will attach screenshot after the forum admin verify me.

    Hi Marconi,
    The forum supports VS setup and installation. Your issue is more about Web Expression 4. But I find the information below from the link:http://www.microsoft.com/expression/eng/#web
    The web is now about applications as well as traditional web sites, and this requires a new set of tools. Microsoft is committed to offering a unified approach to focus on web design and development features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and beyond.
    As part of this consolidation, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 provides the leading web development tool, which enables you to design, develop, and maintain websites and web applications. Visual Studio 2013 makes it easy to build CSS-based websites from the
    ground up with CSS layouts, HTML5 support and full featured capabilities for working with and debugging JavaScript. Learn more about
    Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web and
    WebMatrix 3.
    It seems you could install VS express 2013 for web to instead it. If you want to install VS express for web and you encounter any issue, you could post the installation issue to here.
    >>No, this is not the correct forum. This forum is for using .Net Framework inside SQL Server.
    The sentense is from the first reply. It seems you first post the issue to SQL server for help. As Erland said, it seems your issue is more about Web Expression 4. Have you solved your issue by using the first reply? If has, please mark the first reply as
    answer. If not, you could post your issue to the related forum for better support.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/expression/en-US/home?forum=web
    I will move the thread to off-topic forum. Thanks for your understanding.

  • Many sites want me to email them thru microsoft outlook express and I can't do it

    Many times when I want to email someone in a site (like state government) and they give the email to send it to I can't do it because it goes thru microsoft outlook express
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == never have been able to

    Hi Shirley,
    So you click on an email link and it opens Outlook Express, but you haven't set it up so you can't use it, right?
    What do you want to use for email?
    You can change the email program that Firefox uses, or use Gmail on the web. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox

  • Trying to run Microsoft Web Server 2008

    I have a computer running Microsoft Web Server 2008 and cannot login from the Internet.
    Everytime I try I keep getting the Actiontes Control Panel.
    I am using the WAN IP address, and DHCP and have tried Port Forwarding via Actiontec Control Panel.
    I am new at this and trying to set up an ecommerce site to sell my Daughter's Homemade Jewelery.
    Help, I don't know where to turn to next. I also signed up with ZoneEdit.com for Domain Name Service.

    You have to set a static ip for your server and port forward to it. Then you use your wan ip with port numer on the end. 000.000.000:80  You shouldn't be seeing your router unless you have remote login turned on or are in DMZ mode.
    If you have residential service you are not aloud to run a server on it. It is in the TOS.

  • Microsoft Web Access & Mail on a Mac

    The only access I have to my office email is via Microsoft Web Access. What is the best way to utilize this tool on my Mac other than via the web.

    Hi
    Microsoft Web Access is a web browser interface to a Microsoft Exchange server. As its name implies, the only way you can access Web Access is ... through a web browser.
    However, if your office permits it, you may be able to access your Exchange server from Apple Mail (but possibly only inside the office).

  • After I right-clicked on an unwanted email in Microsoft Web Access and put a filter on it all my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly done in Firefox?

    I was working through my emails in Microsoft Web Access when I came across an email from a sender who keeps spamming me. I right-clicked on this unwanted email, saw a filter option and (recklessly) chose it. ALL my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access my emails in MWA in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly messed up in Firefox? When I get to my email page in MWA in Firefox I now see nothing but the movable vertical bar.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • How can I get iCloud using Microsoft Outlook Express?

    With MobileMe I was able to import my mail, contacts, folders, etc. using Microsoft Outlook Express on a PC. I notice since moving Mobile Me to iCloud, when I try to access it using Outlook Express I receive an error saying the server rejected my password, even after verifying several times I am using the correct password. Is iCloud supported for Outlook Express?
    Thanks!

    Make sure to go into your icloud panel on your PC (in control panel) and on your phone (settings) and check everything you want to synch.  Curious to know if this works for you as mine was working perfectly until last week.

  • Problems with an ActiveX container with a Microsoft Web Explorer in a subpanel

    I have an application with a subpanel.When I push a button I insert another VI in the subpanel. This VI has an ActiveX container with a Microsoft Web Explorer inside. The problem is that the first time I insert the VI all works, but the next time the VI is inserted the ActiveX container appears empty.
    Could anybody help me? Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    In the following two VIs ( uno.vi & dos.vi) I have tried to reproduce the problem you are facing. In my case eveything worked properly.
    I used LV 7 & Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 under Windows 2000
    Try running the VIs I attach and check if the same thing goes on happening.

  • Denim update and connection fail for microsoft web services

    Denim update loaded recently to my Lumia 1020 but fail connection to Microsoft account and web services as well as to Nokia account. Fail code is 502;
    Server Error 502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.

    It might have not propagated to all servers yet and there are some reports that possible those in the Preview for Developers Program are getting BSOD updating, The Denim update for my Lumia Icon killed the phone
    Give it some time and see if the update gets to you or not.
    Using the recovery tool will wipe your phone to factory defaults.  If you are fine with losing all your data and restoring, sure go with that.http://www.windowscentral.com/denim-update-lumia-icon-software-recovery-tool

  • Not able to access Microsoft web sites

    Hi!
    We cannot only access Microsoft Websites through ISA 2006 on web proxy clients and even on ISA itself. We disabled all the rules but still cannot access. ISA server cannot access Microsoft websites even if we use direct connection to internet without using
    proxy.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    In addition, have you received any error messages? Firstly, I recommend you to ping the website or nsloookup the website?
    Please make sure that those websites are not added
    in restricted sites on your browser or you can change a browser to see if the issue persists.
    Best regards,

  • Microsoft web site (safety scanner) problem but works in Safari

    When I go to the site "https://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx" with Either Firefox 18.0.8 ESR Or TOR version of Firefox it gos into a loop where I continually see the rotating icon. It never displays anything on the screen and always continues to show the rotating circle. But on the same workstation it works with Safari.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
