Could I install Visual Studio 2008 and VWD 2008 express in same machine?
If so, and SQL server 2008 are installed, should I still need to install SQL
2008 express?

The question is: why would you want to? VS is a superset of the Express
editions, so Express gives you nothing you don't already have in VS. Same
thing goes for the SQL Server question. If you already have a full SQL
Server 2008, you can point your apps to that, even if you let the VS
installer install SQL 2005 Express. BTW, you do know that you need SP1 for
VS 2008 so it will work with SQL 2008, right?

I thought VWD 2008 might be better then VS2008 for ASP.NET Application.
I am new to ASP.NET
I could not find and add Layout Menu in VS2008.
I need set Absolute position for each control.

Are you referring to the Layout toolbar? Right-click on your VS menu bar (in
an empty spot) and the list of available toolbars will display. Click on
Layout and the Layout toolbar will be added.

Read this article on how to use absolute positioning for your web controls.

Please disregard the previous message. There is no Layout Menu in VS 2008.
For the absolute positioning you want to use, try this suggestion,

VS2008 made some sweeping changes to web formatting. Specifically it now
pushes CSS styles over inline attributes. You can control these settings
using the Tools\Options -> HTML Designer\CSS and CSS Styling. In the CSS
Styling section is the option to change the positioning of controls. Unlike
VS2005 you only have the option of relative or absolute. You'd use a CSS
style for anything else. When you create a new CSS Style one of the options
is to control auto positioning of new items. Select Format\New Style from
the menu. In the Position category are the settings for position (similar
to the CSS properties in VS2005).

Yes, but there is no reason to do it, as you have everything VWD offers in
Visual Studio.

ut I think VWD might be better tools for ASP.NET then VS.
I am new to ASP and am learn AJAX from Vdio
http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/video-79.aspx.
I followed the Vedio and tried with VB code in VS2005 and VS2008, both failed.
Callback not working,
I keep getting "SimpleService" is undefined error in VB2008. And it simple
says error in code in VB2005.
I found there are other person have same problem by using VB2005 or VB2008.
I tried put SimpleService.VB in APP_Code Folder, still keep getting error.
But I can see it works with VWS in the Vedio

Why? VWD is the same designer whether you use VWD as a product or the
full VS. The main advantage of VWD is it is free.

The code in the sample uses early AJAX bits (it is well before 2008 came
out).

Create the service file and let it put the code file where it wants. The
later versions of visual studio will put it in App_Code, but the older
versions will not. Not 100% sure that is the problem, but it is a
possibility.

You also have to be sure you are aiming your AJAX call at the right
site, etc.
