Using C# with Dreamweaver to develope a website

[Dragster93]

I am trying to develope a website by using C# with Dreamweaver (Adobe/Macromedia). I have created apps using C# before, and I've created sites using Dreamweaver before, but this is the first time that I'm creating a site using C# as the back-end and Dreamweaver as the front-end. I basically have NO idea on how to start. I tried searching on google but it didn't seem to help much (or maybe I wasn't searching right :P ).

I don't know how to use the 2 together as one.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

I don't even know if that's possible. Why would you want to do that? Why don't you just use the designer in Visual Studio to design the webpage?

Alright, this is the whole situation:

A friend and I are going to develope a website. He's going to work on the front-end, which is basically all the design part, and I will work on the back-end, i.e, any and everything related to coding and databases. My friend does not know how to create a site using anything else except for Adobe Dreamweaver CS 3 and 4! So, I decided to let him create the front-end on Adobe Dreamweaver, and I shall put in the necessary code.

Oh btw, yes it is possible to use C# and various other languages while creating a website in Dreamweaver.

What I need to know is, where exactly do I start?

I've not used DreamWeaver. But I suspect that there is a way to interact with COM/Activex objects or better still interact with web services. Have a look into that option. Perhaps you can expose the back-end functionality through web services or WCF.

I'm sorry but I didn't understand part of what you just said. Could you elaborate?

Hi.

I'm not which you didn't quite understand. Here's a link on web services and DreamWeaver. There seem to be a few options mentioned there. I would recommend Google if you want to know about COM/ActiveX and Web Services in general.

Thanks dude! I'll check the link and see what I can find, and then get back to you.

Sorry for the late reply but I've tried checking the link and while it did give me some info on what I am doing, it didn't exactly tell me what I need to be doing!

I shall say this once more just so that everyone understands what I am trying to achieve.

I need to know how to write C# code in an HTML code page. I already have the page all setup and ready to be coded. The C# code is supported on that page, but I need to know HOW exactly to write that code. Are they any specific HTML tags withing which I must write this code or should I just start coding without tags?

I think you should start doing some tutorial using Blend and Silverlight for writing web services in C#. After that, you only need to connect your web services and the interface (from Dreamweaver) using the information provided by nelo. It should be easier to understand at that point. Hope this help.
