list of limited features2/24/2008 3:30:27 PM

0/0

I'm an experienced Dreamweaver user and a friend talked me into trying the free express visual web. I spent four very frustraing hours attempting to perform simple CSS tasks, assigning a style to some highlighted text. I can't find the pull down list with all the options I created in my referenced css style sheet. I am able to hard code entries and the GUI detects the style type.

Ok, it is the free version with limited features. So, I spend more frustrating time trying to find the list of limited features. Where is the list, please?

My opinion of this software is dictated by four hours of wasted time. Should I give it a second chance?

I looked at the tutorials written by folks that know this stuff inside out. The lesson was clear but lacked images. When the text says highight the text and then use the selector in the main toolbar it should be obvious, right? I looked and the selector is no where to be found and some features are grayed out. What a useless tutorial. Why not put an image of the position of the pull down? Or, put a link to a detailed and labeled image of the main tool bar. Why not state on relevant pages that the feature being discussed is not activated in the Express version. My frustration level is closing my mind to using this product.

User frustration can kill a good product.

This is the most comprehensive list of VS 2008 feature comparisons I know of:

I took a brief look but I can not find the important information, the inactive or disabled features.

I do not want to waste time trying to use disabled features.

Does the CSS style selector actually work as easily as Dreamweaver? Where can I find it?

Take a look at this blog post... it have some screen shots of VS working with CSS... http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/07/25/vs-2008-web-designer-and-css-support.aspx

As far as I know, the CSS support works with all editions of VS 2008.

Express has all features of Visual Studio and Expression Web in the CSS area, so there are no hidden layout or designer features. These posts may help you understand CSS management in VWD:

Thanks! Those links and images clear up many questions. I'm on a different PC and don't have the links to the tutorials I found in the help files. I'll give this a second.
