Cache and developing problem 1

[brownfox]

Hi I'm fairly new to asp.net. I've installed it on apache2 and things like:

<%
response.write(DateTime.Now.ToString())
%>

work fine. But when I try something a little more complex like trying to connect to sql server 2000 I get application errors. When I try to remove the offending code and save the page the error is still there even though the only code on the page is:

<%
response.write(DateTime.Now.ToString())
%>

So I gather the page must be being cached? This is frustrating in development phase. How do I stop this?
Thanks in advance!

Are you compiling the application before deploying it, and if so, how?

No I'm saving the page as .aspx and connecting to it with a browser

I'd suggest reading up on the basics of ASP.NET from:

http://www.asp.net

http://aspnet.4guyrsfromrolla.com

as there are lots of things you should understand first (such as how to compile applications, how to seperate your code from your HTML and how it differs from the classic asp style that you have used in your examples above).

Once you've understood these, ASP.NET applications may become a bit clearer.

Thanks - you're right, I've not heard of compiling web based applications, software yes, but backend server code? So I will read on. Thanks for your advice!

OK ca8msm is totally correct, in case any newbies are following this thread, download this: visual web developer 2005 express edition from

http://asp.net.

I know php/mysql but this stuff is a different beast altogether!
