Auto-completion
Snippets
Multi-Document
Multi-View
Regular Expression Search/Replace
Plugins interface

Although it also support customized Syntax Highlighting there aren’t too many options available… But this ends today…

ASP Xtreme Evolution has been updated!

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:36:00 GMT

After some months working, finding and fixing bugs in the earlier version of ASP Xtreme Evolution, I’m proud to release the version 1.0.1.0. This is a very stable version. It comes with snippets to increase the productiveness and has some minor changes to help you to organize the code. I suggest those using the v.1.0.0.0 to upgrade as soon as possible. If you can’t upgrade, check the CHANGES in the Read More to fix your old version against the critical issues.

String Template Class for Classic ASP

Fri, 30 May 2008 16:01:00 GMT

While I’m working with Classic ASP I always miss a lot of features that other languages provide. Sometimes it even happens between the Visual Basic and ASP, like the Mid statement, optional keyword and StrConv function.

Goodbye old school javascript

There are times in the life when you realise that the world has really changed and the things that was once so important to you doesn’t matter anymore.
