Static site development in .NET

Static site dev in .NET

[Tobasco]

Hello forum,
I have a question for you all.
I'm about to develop a large e-commerce website that needs to have solid prototype development to happen before embarking on XML/XSL integration.

Now I want to be able to utilise Visual Studio and the use of .ascx files for building static components within a template.master environment. But not have to compile, build or use any/or very little C#/vb code...

Is this possible?
Any suggestions on how i go about this?
Am I mad?

Thanks in advance for your help...

You can do this, just make sure there are no codebehinds referenced in the ascx files. And you will be fine with it being static, and not have to compile anything. I am assuming nothing dynamic is going to be happening with the ascx files, and there content will be completely static. And the master pages will just merge in this static content so you can mock up the website.
