Hey gang,  

I?m having trouble getting some examples from my WROX book to work 
(Beginning web programming using vb.net and vs.net).  More specifically, 
many of the forms or other related elements (text boxes, radio buttons, 
etc.) are not displaying within IE?just basic html titles and such.  I?m 
assuming this is an IIS configuration issue.  Then again, I could be way 
wrong.  It should be noted that other regular (non .net driven) 
applications are working properly.  I've followed the examples and IIS 
setup in the book quite religiously and can't make sense of these 
problems.  Btw.  No errors are showing up either... Any ideas?    

Thanks a bunch, 

Corey Andersen

Corey,

If you view the source of the file from your browser and see your aspx
code in their it is probably the follwoing:

It sounds as if you are not running your aspx pages thru IIS or PWS.
The pages you create have to live in a  directory that is mapped as a
virtual path of your web server, or live somewhere in the
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory.

For example create the directory -> c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test and create
a file called page01.aspx within it.
You must access this via http://localhost/test/page01.aspx

HTH,
JasonP.

Thanks for the reply Jason.  I've mapped a virtual path as well as double 
checked it's status within the IIS configuration.    

Hmm.  Could it be a permission issue?  Pretty strange...   Thanks though. 

Ah he!!, maybe I should just take a stab at J2EE instead.  :). 

Corey   

Hi

Make sure that your computer is actually saving the files as .aspx and not
.aspx.txt

Hope this helps.

Regards

Richard

Beginning ASP.NET Databases using C#
http://www.wrox.com/ACON11.asp?ISBN=1861007418

These books look at how we can create data-centric ASP.NET
applications. Requiring some basic knowledge of ASP.NET,
Access and SQL the authors guide you through the process
of connecting and consuming information in a variety of
ways. They are packed full of excellent illustrative code
examples, demonstrating important fundamental principles.

Jason,

I have the same problem with aspx.  Punctual.aspx gives error that 
application server is not available.  Other errors were debugging not 
enabled, and once I got the html page but today's date in a txtbox would 
not show up, only the html text.

I also tried the aspnet_regiis utility and it didn't help.

I created the web directory properly and aliased the content files out to 
c:.  I think I even tried to run the file from wwwroot but I will try 
again.  I have a webapplication1 directory from trying to run an aspx 
using vs.net, but it doesn't work either.  I am very "dismayed" with WROX 
for not writing its book(s) on asp.net using vs.net as the ide.

I happen to be running vs.net on my server machine (with w2k server 
software) cuz my workstation is still a win98 machine.

I just got it to work on my laptop, tho, after running the regiis utility.
It has only been about 3-4 months that I have been trying to get asp.net 
to work.  I am way behind the learning curve now, but the demand isn't 
there either.  I am a consultant programmer, full-time.  I don't really 
want to learn asp and interdev right now, but that is where all the 
current demand is.

MS really threw me a good curve ball with asp.net and the installation 
problems.  I also tried to email them, like I could when I first got 
vs.net, but now they tell me that my free support time has expired (even 
tho I say this is an INSTALLATION problem!).
