Visual Studio is the way to go.
Decimal types are common in other languages like Java and Python.
Years and years ago I worked in a very sophisticated geospatial support application in C# with the back end in ASP.NET and the front end in Silverlight.
My take on ASP.NET was it had the most advanced templating system I ever saw but the mechanism used to make components (that look like an html element) that had both front end and back end behavior was terribly flawed because it was not compatible with what people call a ‘model view controller’ architecture which more importantly lets you decide which view to render based on what decision the controller makes from processing a form.
There was ‘ASP.NET MVC’ which was nothing special and threw the baby out with the bath water in that it didn’t support the really unique features of ASP.NET and was just another bad framework written by systems programmers who never coded up an application.
