Pages not viewing properly

I'm now using VS.NET 2002.

The problem is when I view the page I don't see anything. Just a blank page. However, when I click view source i see my HTML code.

Here is my HTML:
---------------------------------------------
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="Web1.WebForm1"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <title>WebForm1</title>
        <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0">
        <meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="Visual Basic 7.0">
        <meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
        <meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
    </HEAD>
    <body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
        <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
            <span id="spnAuthenticated" runat="server"></span>
            <span id="spnUserName" runat="server"></span>
            <span id="spnAuthenticationType" runat="server"></span>
        </form>
    </body>
</HTML>
----------------------------------------------

Here is my code behind:
********************************************8
Imports System.Web.Security
Public Class WebForm1
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

    'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
        'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
        'Do not modify it using the code editor.
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub

#End Region

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        spnAuthenticated.InnerText = User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
        spnUserName.InnerText = User.Identity.Name
        spnAuthenticationType.InnerText = User.Identity.AuthenticationType
    End Sub
End Class

Firstly, I'm surprise you didn't get a build/run error.

You need to have your spans defined as class fields in the code behind otherwise there's no tie between the ones on the page and the references to them in the codebehind.

Protected WithEvents spnAuthenticated As HtmlGenericControl
Protected WithEvents spnUserName As HtmlGenericControl
Protected WithEvents spnAuthenticationType As HtmlGenericControl

That's my guess.

Thanks, that worked but it didn't do what I wanted it to do. I was hoping that this code:

--------------------------
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        spnAuthenticated.InnerText = User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
        spnUserName.InnerText = User.Identity.Name
        spnAuthenticationType.InnerText = User.Identity.AuthenticationType
    End Sub
--------------------------

would authenticate a user onto the server without having the login box popup.

Is there anything I need to do on the servers to get it to work?
