Hi,

Hoping someone can help. I'm new to asp and I'm stuck in chapter two (page 51) because my CodeBehind page won't load in browser. It had worked before in Chapter one. How can I tell if my IIS is working properly? And if that is the problem, how can I troubleshoot it? If it isn't the IIS, what else could be causing the problem?

Yes I'm reading (book referenced in this forum) Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 and using VB.

Thank you

Nevermind, problem is solved. I don't know why, but if I right-click the the page in solution explorer and try to view page in browser, I'm unable to open the page. But if I click "Debug" on the tool bar, and then "start without debugging", it works like a charm.

Hi there,

Can you define " I'm unable to open the page"? What is happening exactly?

Also:

>>because my CodeBehind page won't load in browser.

You shouldn't try to load the Code Behind file (.cs or .vb) in the browser. Instead, you need to load the .aspx file.

>> How can I tell if my IIS is working properly?

IIS shouldn't be involved here yet. The book shows you how to develop sites with the built-in web server. Chapter 18 shows you how to deploy against IIS....
