There are a few requirements before we begin. You do not
need Microsoft Visual Studio. However, you will need a web server that supports ASP.NET. You can choose either IIS 5.1 or the development web server that is included
in the .NET Framework SDK 2.0. This file, named WebDev.WebServer.exe, is also
installed with Visual Web Developer and Visual Studio 2005. You can check to
see if this file is installed by looking in directory C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727.
1. Windows XP Professional
2. Web Server IIS 5.1 or WebDev.WebServer.exe (from .NET
Framework SDK)
3. The .NET Framework 2.0 Runtime or SDK (if you want to use
WebDev.WebServer.exe)
4. Any Text Editor
