.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / April 2008A very simple issue
I'm running Vista Business, no SP yet and i'm trying to create a simple example of how to apply ASP to a webpage. The document is very short - containing the following lines of code. <html><head></head><body> <%response.write("Hello World!")%> </body></html> However, as i try to click the file, it opens in the browser but no text is displayed. What could i be doing wrong? -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy The norm is not to click on these types of files, but request them through a web server. This is true both of ASP and ASP.NET. I imagine you could set it to spin up INternet Explorer, etc., when you click on the file, but it is not the normal behavior.  SignatureGregory A.

However, it doesn't solve my problem. :) I'm currently without access to a server where i could put the document and then request it. Perhaps it could be an idea to install a server locally on my laptop. What do you think? -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy You must have a webserver installed and running on the local machine for development if you want to be able to request a page in the normal way it would be requested in production - via HTTP. If it is classic ASP, you have no choice but to install and setup IIS which comes with windows Xp and windows Vista ( most versions). -- Peter To be a success, arm yourself with the tools you need and learn how to use them.

So, having VS.NET 2008 Express doesn't cover that? I was sort of expecting that installing it would be sufficient. Also, IIS is supposed to come with Vista. Will i still have to install it separately? I thought it was already there on my system and ready to go... -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy > You must have a webserver installed and running on the local machine for > development if you want to be able to request a page in the normal way it > would be requested in production - via HTTP.

Now i get what you ment by "coming with Vista" but needed to "be installed". Still, the other question remains - do i need to install a separate webserver or is it included in Vista Business as well and only needing activation? Thanks for the help, by the way! -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
