Well, since I can't create a project where I want to, I shifted gears
and started on Wrox's Beginning ASP.NET. Everything you do
here is in notepad. So I wrote the code as follows:

<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
time.text=Hour(Now) & ":" & Minute(Now) & ":" & Second(Now)
End Sub
</script>


<html>
<head><title> The Punctual Web Server</title><head>
<Body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
Time Is:
<asp:label id = "time" runat="server" />
</body>
</html>


The scripting part does not run. I view the source on the browser
and I see the script part when according to the tutorial it should
not be there because it would be executed on the server.

So I create a project and import this ASPX file and of course the IDE doesn't like any of this code. So it seems the aspx pages in the IDE are a lot different than if done in Notepad. This is all too
much mickey mouse to me. Whatever happened to KISS for
us stupid people?


This is getting really FRUSTRATING!!!!!
