Hi there,
I think the problem is caused by the fact you don't have a site open, but only a single file. Look at the screen shot you posted: the Solution Explorer is empty. Therefore, VWD doesn't understand the web structure and doesn't let you run / debug it.
Try this instead:
1. Choose File | Open Web Site or File | Open |Web Site
2. Browse to the location where your web site is located (something like C:\BegASPNET)
3. Click OK / Open to open the site in VWD
The Solution Explorer nows shows the entire site and its structure. From there, you should be able to open the web forms and other files, and ht F5 to start debugging the application.
Hope this helps,
Imar
