Hi,

I'm doing my first page in ASP.net but it won't execute as it's supposed to.
I installed IIS, and html works fine when I ask for the page, but not my aspx page (it shows up as just html).

Here's the code I used:

<%@Page Language="VB" Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello and Welcome Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<% Dim TextSize As Integer %>
<% For TextSize = 1 To 7 %>
<font size = <%=TextSize%>>
Hello and Welcome! <br>
</font>
<% Next %>
</center>
</body>
</html>

What might be wrong?
thanks,
Maisie

Did you install IIS after the .net framework was installed?

You may need to register .net with IIS

To do so, you need to run
Code: 
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
on the command line. This exe lives in the:
c:\winnt\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[YOUR DOT_NET VERSION]\ directory. Run that and see if that helps. Most likely, IIS does not know how to handle a .aspx file

Also, you are coding in classic ASP style. ASP.Net uses code behind pages.

I didn't know .net framework needed to be installed.
How do I do this? Is it complicated?
Maybe I should just test my pages on a free server?

Thanks,
Maisie

No, it's not hard to install the framework and it can be downloaded from here. I'd also suggest downloading Visual Web Developer which is a free tool you can use to develop your ASP.NET applications and it comes with it's own built in web server for testing. You should also take not of jbenson001's suggestion of placing all your code in the code-behind file as ASP.NET is trying to get away from the classic ASP style that you've used in your example.

If I use Visual Web Developer,would I still have to install the framework?

I didn't know I used Classic ASP in the example I put there....I took it from a book called ASP.NET for Dummies, so I was assuming it was ASP.NET - "VB" should stand for Visual Basic.NET, am I not correct?

No. As Mark stated, the web server is built in.

If that is an example from that book, I'd get rid of it right away. There are several good intro books out there, forget the DUMMY one. That code uses inline script, as Mark has stated, .NET is moving away from. Use the code behind files.

Yes, VB stands for Visual Basic
