new to ASP.NET - some questions

Hi I've just recently tried experimenting with some Visual Basic ASP.NET Web Applictions. I have some questions. When I draw a button and a label to the grid all I saw when running the aspx page is the label! I can't see the button even though I'm sure it's there. I havn't added a single line of code, I just wanted to check this out and it doesn't seem to work.. I thought this problem had something to do with my web server (a shareware web server used just for testing) didn't support ASP.NET. So I installed IIS from my windows 2000 cd. When I try to run/debug my application now it gives the following error:
"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. The server does not support debugging of ASP.NET or ATL server applications. Run Setup to install the Visual Studio .NET server components. If setup has been run verify that a valid URL has been specified. You may also want to refer to the ASP.NET and ATL Server debugging topic in the online documentation. Would you like to disable future attempts to debug ASP.NET pages for this project?" Now I obviously can't see any page what so ever.

I then tried to install "applications" to host Web components from the Visual Studio .NET CD. And I've also check "Enable ASP server-side script debugging" under IIS properties but it doesn't seem to help. Have I done something wrong when installing or do I need some additional files in order to run the page on my computer (web server)?

I managed to fix this myself.. Guess you have to install IIS prior to Visual Studio .NET, otherwise you have to manuall run "aspnet_regiis.exe -i" from your Framwork directory. Everything seems to be working fine now though!

its a common problem as the aspisapi dll or whatever gets unregistered somehow when isntalling .NET sometimes...dont know why...

I have a strange problem with dll's/components being unregistered. It occurs when I build a deployment project. All non .NET Activex and other components gets unregistered that you've used in your project. For example in one of my recent projects I used MSGraph activex component from VB6 and Measurement Studio components from Nation Instruments. All theese components gets unregistered when building the deployment project. In order to be able to open your project without just seeing an empty form you have to reinstall the components again. VERY annoying. I tried to do the same thing on several computers.. But mabey I'm doing something very stupied.

How did you do that? I have the same problem that you fixed.

I have the same! Whenever I try to acces one of my aspx pages, nothing happens, i only get a blank screen!

I also tried aspnet_regiis.exe -i , but that didn't help me either :(

Anyone here who can help?

Thanks!

I shut down IIS first. Then I ran the aspnet_regiis.exe -i from the command line.

ok thanks .. im gonna try it .. ill be back later to scream : "yippie" or of course crying that it still doesn't work ... hehe

ok .. enough forum spamming, lets try to get it running :)

Urgh! Still a blank screen

When u run from the command line does it tell you that it successfully installed?

Err.. well .. it says the following :

Start installing asp.net (1.0.3705.288)
Finished installing asp.net (1.0.3705.288)

So euh , I presume its succesful?

try a reboot of your computer

Tried it .. didn't have the desired effect I'm affraid :(

I am sorry but I don't know what to tell you now. Maybe someone else here can help you.

I hope so =)

Perhaps I should try uninstalling IIS and Visual Studio .NET and then reinstall it all again? ... certainly hope not cuz Visual Studio .NET takes forever to install :D

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know I solved the problem.

At first I tried reinstalling IIS and Visual Studio .NET as some sort of last resort method ... of course when I had finally reinstalled everything it still did not work.

So I decided to download .NET Framework 1.1 Final Beta and just give it a go, hoping that it would solve the problem. So I downloaded it, installed it and :o :o IT WORKS!! :D

Did you have the NET Framework installed at all?
