Which software to maintain a big website with ASP.net and XBAP-WPF pages?

Question

Hi Guys,

 

I would like to build a web site where some pages are produce with asp.net other with xbap or wpf.

Which software makes easy to maintain a website like this?

VS2008 does look great to build small web sites but what about bigger ones?

 

Is there a software that allow to create a copy of the web site on the computer and than publish just the part of the web site (ASP, WPF) that has been updated?

 

Cheers

I think that VS 2008 is your only option. If your site is huge you should partition it using sub-web projects. You can also use web deployment project to customize your deployment procedure.

Hi Stefan,

 

Thanks for the answer.

 

Do you know if expression web can deal with wpf applications? I mean I could publish a wpf application on a virtual web site on my PC with vs2008, then I could use expression web to publish the full site on the server or just part of the web site that need to be updated.

 

Is that possible?

 

I could be wrong but vs 2008 does not look to me flexible enough in dealing with big web sites even with the sub-web projects. This is just an impression, I dont have any experience from this point of view.

 

Cheers
