Hi everyone, as I'm moving through the Beginning ASP.Net with VB.Net book the 

only problem that I'm having is the ASP.net code between the <script> tags is 

not displaying. For example, in the first chapter, there is a simple question 

on displaying the time on the web server and refreshing the page so that we 

see the dynamic action take place. The html is fine but the time on the 

webserver does not show up. I believe I have installed the IIS correctly but 

can't get my server controls to work for me. Also when I view my source code 

in IE(6) the ASP.Net code shows but I chose the option of not to show the 

script information to browsers. It should show only the html if it's working. 

This question has been asked before and I have viewed all the replies. It has 

to be something with my set up. The code is from the website.  Can anyone 

help. Thanks much.

Sincerely, Frank Verderame

Gotta ask the obvious...



Did you install ASP.NET? If not, the server is not going to intepret the

code between the script tags, and so it'll just be sent to the browser as

text. You also have the runat="" atribute set to "server"?



Cheers

Ken

Hey Kenn, thanks for responding. I know everyone has a busy life. I appreciate the swift answer. Yes , I
installed the .Net framework beta 2, as well as installing ASP.Net after as well thinking maybe I didn't know what i was doing with
the .net enviornment. I have gone over all the options in the book as well as played around with the IIS to see if it was something
set wrong. I have downloaded the code from the website and the runat command is set to server. There was even a database question in
the third chapter that would not show up properly. Even though I'm new with this particular technology, I understand the details and
can handle the terminology. That's why I'm thinking it's something simple (I hope). I'm definitely saving the files with.aspx
extension. I have tried to run examples from later chapters that use VB and xml and it's still the same case. Maybe ASP.NET is not
installed. I thought the Premium edition was installeld with the whole .Net package. Is the Premium Edition the right edition to be

 using. What do you think is the next step in troubleshooting this? 

Thanks much Ken, I'll try anything you recomend

You are accessing the webpages via your webserver eg?



http://localhost/somepage.aspx

not

file://c:/inetpub/wwwroot/somepage.aspx



Also, you didn't mention your platform - you are using Win2k or WinXP?

Are there any error messages logged in the WinNT event log?

Also, check you ISAPI filters, and make sure that .aspx is mapped.



Cheers

Ken

Hey Kenn and everyone, just to let you know , my question about having the 

IIS up and running before installing Visual Studio.Net is true. Everything 

works now. 

Thanks.
