Help

Hello, need some help with an example in the book Beginning ASP.NET 1.0 with Visual Basic .NET. Here's the source code:

<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
time.text=Hour(Now) & ":" & Minute(Now) & ":" & Second(Now)
End Sub
</script>

<html>
<head><title>The Punctual Web Server</title></head>
<body>
  <h1>Welcome</h1>
  In WebServerLand the time is currently:
<asp:label id="Time" runat="server" />
</body>
</html>

Now, can someone tell me why I get a page that has the text, but it doesn't tell the time after it like it says it's supposed to in the book?
       Thx

I think it is case sensitive so you should change time.text to Time.Text

Hope it helps

Jacob.

It ran fine on my machine. Have you been able to get anything else in ASP.NET to run?

I tried capitolizing time and text. It didn't work. And yes, this is the first thing I've tried with ASP.NET. The book I'm using has a lot of stuff it wants me to install, so I have a feeling I may have messed up there.

Any suggestions?

Try this:

1) Open a command window. (Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.)
2) Navigate to the directory of the Aspnet_regiis.exe version you want to use. Remember that each version of the .NET Framework comes with its own version.

The file is usually located in the following directory:
for XP c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<versionNumber>
for 2000 c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\<versionNumber>

Then type aspnet_regiis.exe -i

I was also having this problem... it was showing the text but not the time.

I just ran the install for that aspnet_regiis.exe file, as you said, and the problem is now fixed, thank you.

I thought that by installing MS Visual Studio .NET it installed all the necessary asp server applications??? Evidently not.
