Right, I've got a copy of Interdev from... well, a while ago.

a) What is it? Is it the M$ equivalent of Ultradev, or does the similarity stop at the name.

b) If so, is it better, and would I be better off using it if I have access to it?

Well Visual Interdev in similar to Ultradev only in the name. VI as you may know is a development tool from the Visual Studio set. It is a power tool for designing web pages. It can be used as a WYSIWYG program but the power lies in ASP.

On the Vis Studio there should be the install for J++ which allows for Java Developement, plus there should be C++ as well as VB. This is where Interdev comes in, it allows developers to develope programs for the web using all these languages, but using only on interface.

You should have the option to create various projects apon opening interdev in you have the other parts of VS installed.

I hope this helps to clear things up.

Oh and dont install visio 2k on the same machine cos it has a silly interdev plugin that causes you to get a J++ error whenever you start interdev, but if ur like me and only close it once a month it doesnt really bother u.

If you are writing your code by hand then Interdev is great. It colours all of your code so you can see what is going on. Its a great alternative to notepad ;)

Yes it is normally only used for writing asp because version 6 has a lot of useful stuff built in for writing code for you (such as connecting to databases and writing SQL) but its code colouring is a feature that makes me use it! Stuff visual tools... hack html in by hand the real way ;)
