Introducing Dreamweaver - Grouped Panels

(Page 3 of 4 )

The grouped panels contain many different panels categorized for specific tasks. The following list of panel groups outlines some of the commonly used panels for working on an ASP.NET application. If you can’t see any of the grouped panels, display them by selecting the panels you want to see from the Windows menu.

• Design: This panel contains tabs to manage CSS Styles. It’s worth noting that the HTML Styles tab has been removed in Dreamweaver MX 2004.

• Application: This panel is where most of the ASP.NET functionality is located. You can define database connections and insert server behaviors from this panel.

• Files: This panel is where all the files that make up your application are managed. You can create, organize, and delete files using this panel; it also has built-in functionality for managing the files on a remote server as well as publishing and synchronizing local and remote files.

Figure 1-7 shows the Files panel with the contents of the case study application from Chapter 11.
