What's New in Visual Studio .NET 1.1?
Last updated: Thursday, February 21, 2019
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2003 - March/April, VFP Conversion Papers
Visual Studio .NET provides a new set of features designed to improve and enhance the development experience. Most of these changes have to do with user ergonomics and are typical of a minor release of a Visual Studio product. Only a few of the changes are related to the underlying platform. This article assumes you are familiar with Visual Studio .NET 1.0 and it presents only the new features of the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) of Visual Studio .NET 1.1, for both C# and Visual Basic .NET. J# is not discussed because it was not part of Visual Studio .NET 1.0. In the interest of space, some minor cosmetic changes (such as reorganization of the Start page) are not listed.

Review: ASP.NET Web Matrix
Last updated: Thursday, October 9, 2025
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2003 - March/April
Michiel van Otegem presents ASP.NET Web Matrix as a freeware, Microsoft-backed tool designed to demystify ASP.NET for developers coming from ASP, offering an easy, integrated environment with ready-made pages, drag-and-drop controls, code builders, and a light local server (Cassini). He emphasizes its community integration, rapid setup, and emphasis on prototyping and learning, while noting shortcomings for enterprise-scale development and collaboration. Van Otegem suggests it’s ideal for beginners, freelancers, and small teams to experiment and prototype before moving to Visual Studio for larger projects.
