I have made my first simple asp.net site which works fine locally. I have now uploaded to the server where it will be hosted but the <asp:> tags do not seem to be picked up. Can anyone suggest why this may be?

Thanks

I am a newbie myself, but I saw this old post that no one answered. So I thought I might add something. You have to make sure that your server is configured for ASP.NET 2.0 and if you are using a third party remote server for hosting you can probably not use mdf/ldf files if you are doing that. If so you need to convert them to sql data files and import them to whatever database they want you to use. Also unlike your local computer you cannot put your ASP stuff anywhere, the web.config file, and probably the Default.aspx, needs to be at the root

To see what is going on remotely you can add this string to the web.config file between the <system.web> and </system.web> tags (see below). Well again the web.config file needs to be at the root or you will not see the error message either.
