I have built a dynamic website using dreamweaver. When I move the site to a machine that doesn't have dreamweaver installed on it the pages that use datasets display the code and not the page. The machine has the dotnet framework installed. Anyone know what the problem is?

Did you also deploy the DreamweaverCtrls.dll file to the production server?

Cheers,

Yes, I put it in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin.

Are you having the same problem with other ASPX pages?

This doesn't sound like a Dreamweaver controls / dataset problem, but rather like an IIS configuration problem.

Search this forum for aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Also, if you're running Server 2003, mae sure you enabled ASPX in the IIS Server Extensions dialog

aspnet_regiis.exe worked! Funny thing is that it works if you use internet explorer and put in the path eg http:\\localhost\site name\page.aspx but if you right click on the pages and select open with iexplorer it still does the same thing.
thanks for the help.

That's how it's supposed to work.

When you right-click a file and open it with the browser, you directly access the file as a simple HTML file from disk and no parsing takes place.

However, for ASPX pages (or any other server side page) to work, they need to be processed by the webserver. When you request http://localhost/MyPage.aspx, IIS hands of the page to the .NET framework, that parses the page and sends the resulting output to the browser.
