aspx basics?

[stingrae]

Hi,

a little while ago i did my first .Net course and whilst there we did some basic form writing projects with .Net.

For the first time since (i have only been doing PC stuff until now with .Net), i have gotten round to trying it.

i have gone through the step-by-step exercises again and then tried to run it but it doesn't work.

can someone please explain to me what is required to make aspx files be able to be executed on my server?

thanks in advnace.

have you got IIS installed? and was it installed before you put VS.net on your PC?

if your just developing on your pc, and are not familiar with IIS then you can use a MS Product Called WebMarix it is Totally free,

and runs very similar to VS.net, it also has its own engine to run your aspx files, with out having to set up IIS

you find the product here:
WebMatrix

it lacks intelligence-sense, but if you know what you are coding you don't reely need it.

so, Hope this helps

hi,

thanks heaps for the replies.

yes, i did have IIS installed on my server, but i don't have VB.Net on my server. I have VB.Net on my development PC.

does VB.Net need to be installed on my server too?

First you have to install the dotnet framework on your server to run asp.net files

Link To Framework

Then map the .net to iis

First you have to install the dotnet framework on your server to run asp.net files

that's all i thought that i had to do. i didn't realise that i had to install VB.Net on my server as well.

Just to make sure you understand what i meant.
The dotnet framework isn't vb.net its a framework for the .net language, that means you can run vb.net asp.net c# jscript.net
So if you develop vb.net programs or you run asp.net on your server install the framework,
Link To .net framework
If you install all the above, and when browsing your aspx pages you see the source code read this
