Creating ASPX file with Visual Studio .NET

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi, sorry if this is a real stupid question BUT;

I have recently installed Visual Studio .NET and thought I would make a nice simple ASPX file to find my feet so to speak.

So I went start, programs, Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, Microsoft Studio.NET and I got the development environment up and running no problem.

What I would like to know is how do I create a blank aspx file? If I go File, New, File I get three categories, General, VC++, Script.

I can find a ASP template under scripting but there appears to be no ASPX file template. Even if I create a new file and then go save AS there is no ASPX file extension available.

How do I create one?

Thanks
MarkusJ

To create a .aspx file, start a project - New - web application

The form displayed (like we have in vb6) is actually named as a webform1.aspx. put whatever controls u want ...and hit f5 to see your first aspx page.

Thanks for your help, is it possible to just create a new aspx file via VS.Net without starting a new project?

Thanks

You could always get Microsoft's Web Matrix Web Editor, which strictly does ASP.NET, its pretty cool and doesnt make all the usual VS.NET IDE Files.

And theres no harm in using notepad to write your
applications.I just find this way you dont run into as many
application\server bugs as if you were using the vb .net
standard edition.

Use notepad, its the best way to learn. altho its not as productive and fast creating a GUI application with controls

You might want to use inline code to code your asp.net pages with notepad. Its faster.
