aspnet_regiis.exe

Hi all,

While browsing through the forum I cam across this as an almost standard answer to many problems where the grids or buttons on an aspx page were failing to display.

Now I have just installed an aspx application on an Windows NT4 with sp6 running iis.

And my very first page fails to do anything as all the controls are gone.

My Question is will the asp_regiis.exe actually work for me?

Hey I'll give it a try, tomorrow as I am no longer at the site.

99% chance that it will fis your problem. It is such a very common problem


aspnet_regiis.exe -i

should fix it.

Thanx Chander

I was beginning to think that I was having this problem because of NT4

I had faced a similar problem on my asp.net page where a server control would not show on the compiled web page... & running aspnet_regiis.exe -i had solved it.
The name of the exe that is run to solve the problem sounds like it is used to register ASP with IIS.... going back a few days I remembered that I had installed IIS after installing the .NET framework and all.... so possibly the VS installation might not have found the IIS installation to ultimately serve the asp.net pages... and all that was needed to be done was to link the two using the aspnet_regiis.exe

However the page I ran before I fixed the problem displayed the Label control which again was a server control.. ignoring the button control... and now that has left me wondering whats the difference between these two controls... any insights??

Btw ... its definitely not a NT problem.

Label and buttoin are both server controls, but I dont know why label renders and the others do not. It is a mystery.
