Web Matrix

What is the ASP.NET Web Matrix?
ASP.NET Web Matrix is a free, easy to use, community-supported Web development tool for quickly building ASP.NET Web applications. It can be installed via a quick 1.2 MB download (about 5 minutes using a 56Kb modem). Important community features such as Instant Messanger and online forums enable the active .NET community of both novice and advanced developers to learn how to develop with ASP.NET.

Web Matrix is written completely using C# and the .NET Framework:

UI - Windows Forms (System.Windows.Forms)
Data Access - ADO.NET (System.Data)
XML Web Services communicate with backend services on www.asp.net (System.Web.Services)
ASP.NET designer APIs for hosting ASP.NET server controls within our designer (System.Web.Design and System.Web.Mobile.Design)

The end result is a .NET application that spans clients, servers and services.

How does Web Matrix work with DataRide Hosting?
Web Matrix is a tool to develop and deploy ASP.NET applications. Because DataRide hosting supports the .NET framework, properly configured ASP.NET applications can be deployed through our services.

Easy Data Bound UI Generation	Web Matrix makes it easy to create data bound pages without writing code. Drop SQL tables on a Web page to create data-bound grids, or start with Data Page templates for reports or Master/Detail pages. Code builders help generate code to select, insert, update and delete SQL data.
XML Web Services Support	Easily add XML Web Service support to your applications. Web Matrix provides support for developers to easily expose a SOAP-based XML Web Service, as well as call and consume a XML Web Service hosted on another server.

Simply double-click a file within the workspace tree to open it for editing. No FrontPage server extensions or project system are required.

What People Are Saying

"I've been using Dataride for over a year now and they are always right there to answer my questions and address any technical issues, usually with same-day response. Their support is definitely much better than every other host I have used in the same price range. In fact, their support is better than a few hosts I have used that cost much much more."
