Managing classic ASP sites with VS 2010 - visual-studio-2010

I have been given control of a web site in Classic ASP. What is the best way to manage this code with VS 2010? More specifically, how can I best import it into VS 2010. Should I start with a blank solution? A blank ASP.NET project? Obviously I'm expecting it to run through a build process, but I would still want to create it in a way so that I can edit the files with VS 2010 and run it on my debugging web server when needed for testing.

If i'm not wrong, you can't run a classic asp website trough a build process.
In visual studio 2010 you can only open the file and edit them as a file editor. But there's not a lot of interaction between classoc asp and vs2010

Sharepoint template missing in Visual studio components

I have got 4 components of visual studio 2010 express
1)MS Visual Basic 2010 express
2)MS Visual C#
3)MS Visual basic
4)MS Visual Web Devoloper.
But none of them provide me Web part templates for sharepoint 2010. Which one would I need for this?
Do I need a proffessional? or even a Visual studio 12?
It looks like you need to have Visual Studio and SharePoint installed on the same machine in order to develop for SharePoint:
Chris Hopkins' Blog
I can tell you from personal experience this is true. I've always had to install Visual Studio onto a SharePoint server when I wanted to write new solutions for SharePoint.
If you are simply trying to edit a page layout or master page, or some other static type of content in SharePoint, you can use many tools to do so. I've successfully edited things with NotePad++ from my client PC. As long as you have the permission for the library where those things are kept, you can make changes.
I originally thought you meant developing SharePoint SOLUTIONS, by which I mean additional back-end functionality, site features, and the like.

Automating VSIX deployment to Visual Studio Galleries

We would like to automate the upload of Visual Studio Extensions that we have written to the Visual Studio Gallery.
We currently use a combination of CruiseControl.Net, Msbuild files and Powershell scripts to automate the deployment of all the bits and pieces of our framework.
However we would like to automate the deployment of the development tools that we have created to the Visual Studio Gallery.
These tools are built using Visual Studio 2012.
Thanks for any helpful advice or pointers.
It's possible to do this with Canopy and FAKE. I just did it in https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket.VisualStudio/blob/master/build.fsx#L177
Unfortunately there is no good way to do this. There is no publicly exposed API for uploading extensions. The only way I'm aware of is to create an instance of a web browser and simply automate the process of filling out the forms and navigating through the menus.

DotNetNuke vs Visual Studio

What is the difference between DotNetNuke CMS and visualStudio . i mean, is it better to use DotNetNuke over VisualStudio for Asp.net web site development.
Visual Studio is used to build DotNetNuke. I would guess 98+% of all third party DotNetNuke coding (modules/provders/skins etc.) is done using Visual Studio.
If your purpose is to create a web site (e.g. organize the pages, and menus, add pictures, text, documents, manage users etc.) you can do all of that without writing any code by using DotNetNuke. With Visual Studio you must write code to do even the simplest thing like add a page with some text.
If you need to create some very custom web site features, or integrate with other software systems, then you will probably need to write some code. Pretty much any code that you write for platforms based on Microsoft's .Net technologies (including DotNetNuke) will be done using Visual Studio.
Dotnetnuke is a Content Management System done in ASP.Net Technology. Visual Studio is the editor used to write ASP.Net code. (basically .Net projects). Dotnetnuke is an ASP.Net project which can be opened and edited in Visual Studio. You can create your own project instead of using Dotnetnuke which is a precreated project.
dotnetnuke is more like joomla meaning its just a content management and visual studio is just an ide or editor.
you can develop your own DNN module using visual studio

Can Visual Studio installe with ms sql server be used to modify a .net windows app?

I am trying to modify a .net written in visual studio 2008. However, when I loaded and try to build the website, I get a bunch of errors that several controls like firstname.text are not declared even though the app has been working.
It is possible that I am getting this error because I am using the BI version fo visual studio?
Thanks alot for all the help.
No it is not possible. If I understand correctly, you're using BIDS to modify a .NET project.
Business Intelligence Studio is a completely different program than Visual Studio (though they are based on the same editor). If you want to modify the .NET project, you will need an Instance of Visual Studio, not BIDS (Business Intelligence Developer Studio).

Create Web project for ASP pages in Interdev

How to create a web project in Visual Interdev for ASP pages. I need to debug the ASP pages.
You can debug classic ASP pages by opening your web site in Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (won't work with plain VStudio 2008).
You have to manually attach to the dllhost process to start a debugging session.
I remember having a couple of issues with that last time I tried to set it up. This was to do with the versions of DLLs used. I had to replace a couple with newer versions. I need to reinstall, so will update this when I find out
