Hi l'm using Visual Studio 2017 Community on windows 10 home.

I try the first exemple but the Asp.net code refuse to be execute on the web page <%Datetime.now.toString() %>. So i'm leave with a page with Welcome to beginning ASP.Net 4.5.

This is an exemple of the output window

Hi there,

Sounds like an issue with your network? Take a look at this:

>> Unable to load the service index for source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json. An error occurred while sending the request. The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.nuget.org'.

It seems it can't access the internet to download required packages.

Which commands did you choose to create the new site? File | New Project? Or File | New Website? Or something else?

Only error i got was

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Message IDE0017 Object initialization can be simplified WebSite3 C:\Users\Eric\source\WebSites\WebSite3\App_Code\Ro uteConfig.vb 8 Active

You're missing the colon in your code block which is responsible for the output. I.e. this:

<p><%Date.Today.ToString()%></p>

should be this:

<p><%:Date.Today.ToString()%></p>

Also, the book uses DateTime.Now.ToString() so it works for VB and C#; your example should work too.
