Creating WEB Project using ASP.Net in visual studio.net

[ambadi9999]

Hello ,

First of all i am new to the entire application development using .net.

Today i was just trying to create some sample application using Visual Studio .net , and i tries to create a new project using the ASP.net web application. the Location is given as

http://local

host/webapplication1

But after i tried to create , i get a error message telling that

webserver reported following error after trying to create or open the web project located at the following URL:
"

HTTP://localhost/webapplication1"

'HTTP/1.1.500 SERVER ERROR'

i am sorry if i am asking some thing very silly...
can any one let me know what could be the problem , please note that i have installed the IIS sever in windows xp prof ...is it because by IIS is not running in my system , even though i have installed it in my system.

regards

First off I believe you need to create a virtual directory in IIS called "webapplication1" if that is what you want to call your application and you need to point it to the directory where your application files will reside.

for example:
C:\webapplication1

In IIS go to Web Sites > Default Web Site

Right click and choose New > virtual Directory...

go throught the wizard and this will create your virtual directory.

Then when you create your new project after

http://localhost/

you put the name of your virual directory: "webapplication1" or whatever you called it. Click OK and it should create the new project for you in the directory you specified with the default files that it automatically creates for a new site.

Have you tried:

http://localhost/webapplication1/WebForm1.aspx

Or something to that effect?

You URL does not seem to be complete.

Try these steps:

1. File-> New-> Project
2. then a window pops up, select VB or C# (depending on your requirements) in the left section and then select ASP.NET webapplication on the right section
3. Then type in the following

http://yourservername/projectname

that should create a new project for you with the project name
