I am working on my first webforms project. I have VB.NET, but not the full Visual Studio.

I created my web pages (aspx and aspx.vb) and everything works fine on my localhost web.

I then copied the whole directory over to the a folder on our web server and the pages load, but only the labels etc.. that are just HTML code, and not the webforms, textboxes, or the other code behind.

Since I don't have the full Visual Studio, the only option in my Setup and Deployment folder under new projects is a regular Setup project, so I couldn't create a deployment project.

Am I missing a step when I copied the folder over?

Before I recommend to my boss to purchase Visual Studio, I was just wondering if there were any other options. I can't believe I can create a Web project, but not deploy it effectively!
