You could make do with it at that size, but you might want to get an external monitor for any long-term coding...

Well I still do have my full-size laptop, and my serious desktop, both have much higher resolutions.
I was just worried about it since VS really boxes the real code in, the toolbox on the left(it can hide though), the debugging at the bottom, the properties on the right, and the multiple toolbars at the top. After all that I am not sure what will be left for the code viewport.

Can't you use remote debugging?

I just grab the boxes and stretch them open or closed as I need to... How much code do you really need to see at any one time anyway?

The way I code I use alot of space, that might be my problem, but I prefer is at is makes it more readable, at least to me.
I prefer ifs to be formed like so:
if(test)
{
//Do something
}
instead of just
if(test)
//Do something

I have a baby laptop, Compaq, with a 13" screen that I use when travelling (not for work) it is primarily for internet access but I have SQL and VS installed in case I need/want to do some work. It works fine, you spend a lot of time flipping and scrolling but it works. Compile is slow, debug is nasty, chasing through the IDe is painful but it does work.

I'm using a Lenovo netbook right now. It has the same resolution.
Since the screen is "widescreen" form, there is really no problem with the smallness of the vertical dimension.
All you need to do with Visual Studio is click the little pushpins on the tool windows so that they auto hide, and you'll have enough room for the code.
Congratulations and good luck!

I didn't realize that they all could auto hide. Hmm... I'm not so worried about it anymore.
I am used to having 1280x1024+ so that was the root of the problem.
Thanks, looks like VS will do.

you could change your display settings to a lower resolution and find out for yourself how it looks and feels...

I was actually thinking there would be another IDE that was a little better on the user space than VS is. I love VS, but it does take up a ton of space.

You might want to look at using the express version, a bit more lightweight.

Some of us cut our teeth coding on CGA or worse, I think you'll be fine. Of course there are many here who claim they will refuse to get out of bed for less than dual HD monitors...spoiled brats.

I was ready cash in hand to buy one the other day, then I realized it was not one with a 6cell battery, as advertised...
Still looking though...

We're looking at the Samsung NC10[^] for the same reason - it has a 7 hour runtime on battery.
|
|
|
|

Well, if I could find one, I would get it!
But only 1 place in South Africa offers it, and a bit expensive too, around R7700.
Ah, I just found Lenovo S10 with 3 cell at R5000

Yeah, the NC10 is more expensive than most netbooks. It's battery pack uses somewhat larger cells than any of the rival 6 cell models, and sammy's also charging a best in breed tax on top of the extra hardware cost.

Can you recommend ressources for someone who is well-versed in C#, has used classic ASP in some projects that are still up and running, can make Frontpage spit out some CSS, doesn't bother with W3C as long as his HTML looks ok, and thinks XML sucks?
(a.k.a. me)
I have an idea for a project that looks more and more like a browser app.

These are all really well done tutorials esp. the MVC Storefront application.

Previously? no.
But I'm using it for a complete rewrite of our current online quoting system which is written in asp 1.0 (not done by me).

My sympathies, I have so far managed to avoid full scale web front ends for winforms but I just know it's waiting out there in the future somewhere. We need this to be delivered to a wider audience AAaahhhhhh.

personally, i find CP and the MSDN have most of what you need to know if you have a strong background in C#.
just avoid using the built in GUI databinding.

I am confused by your and Mycroft's reply.
Is ASP.NET so bad? (compared to what?)
Did I miss some newer technology? (is it called connect:ASP.live?)
The application would access and modify the same data from multiple clients in a LAN.
