Can you use the ASP.net stack on either Sublime Text or Atom.io ?

I understand that it can be done with visual studios. I wonder if I can use it without visual studios.

Hi Mitul,

You could use an alternate IDE such as Sublime Text but getting the same level of intellisense that Visual Studio offers would be pretty hard to accomplish, personally I would always use VS for anything on the .NET side of things as I've never seen any guides that use anything other then it.

Also VS integrates the MSBuild compilers directly which other IDE's don't which can make getting an comfortable workflow very difficult.

Yeah...don't use sublime text or atom.io for .Net development. In my opinion, Visual Studio is the best IDE out there. Anytime you want to do .Net development. always use Visual Studio.
