Web Services - Remoting and Asynchronous in Webmatrix?

Hi, I need to build an E-Commerce shopping cart which will be Asynchronous ... so I guess I will need Remoting and Asynchronous methods from web services ... my question is ... is that a MUST that I have to use Visual Studio.NET? Can I just use webmatrix?You can use Notepad if you like, as long as you do it right. If you need to create Assemblies, all the command line tools you need are free, and comes with the .Net SDK.

But then again, VS.Net will save you hours (days) of unnecessary work. You may find it expensive, but it's worth every penny.
Hi, I do have a copy of VS.NET CDs from my friend ... but, I can't even get through step 1 ... it said I dun have several software or something ... it's Enterprise version ... but I only need to use my IP address as a server ... so I selected Remote server and follow the lnk to how to setup a remote server ... but doesn't work ... still not allowed me to go on to steps 2, 3, etc. What should I do???
VS.Net consists of several CDs. The first you are required to run is Component Update. If you don't have this or any of the other CDs of, you cannot install VS.Net.

"Hi, I do have a copy of VS.NET CDs from my friend"

Do you own a license for this copy of VS.Net?
hello .. I have the original CD with me ... but its' my friend's ... does it make it diff that I can't get through step 1?
Having the original, as opposed to a copy I shouldn't imagine will make a difference, but you'll still need to license it. If you've already got a license, then I beleive you can get new media from MS, for a small fee (That way you're garaunteed to get a complete set of disks).

Alternatively, you could trySharpDevelop. It's a bit simpler than VS, but still very similar in look and feel, still does everything you're likely to need to do, and more importantly, it's free.
