IIS and ASP.Net

  #1  
Aug 17th, 2004
I recently post a thread asking if IIS can run on XP Home Edition. The answer that I got is NO. I recently upgrade my laptop to Windows XP Professional. I really want to start learning ASP. Can I now just start writing ASP codes or do I now have to do something else before.

Thanks.

Well, if you had some type of development environment to develop ASP.NET code, that would help a lot too. Of course, you could just write your code in notepad, but I don't know how great that would be for a newbie.

BTW, don't confuse ASP.NET and ASP. ASP is a very old web scripting language. ASP.NET is a new, web compiled language.

ASP.NET programmers like me hate when people refer to ASP.NET as ASP .

Thanks for your response. Can you suggest what type of environment would be needed? Is there any free ones available? Do I need to do any configuration of IIS in order to start writing scripts?

BTW, Thanks for the information about ASP and ASP.net I know the difference, but I guess I am just been bad by not using the correct name.

Thanks.

Depends, do you have IIS installed? If not, rip out your windows xp cd and install it. Now, you want an environment? I use visual studio .net 2003, but I've heard of one called asp matrix or something? Perhaps you should investigate that one

ASP.NET Web Matrix is entirely free, and its by the ASP.NET Team. However, its quite limited; no codebehind, no intellisense.

You're better off testing out the new Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Beta 1, available for a free download here.

Guys -
I seem to have a problem. I tried typing a simple page with ASP tag and it did not work. I suspect that it might be an IIS configuration issue. I use the tag <%=time%> but it came up blank. I tried to configure IIS but seems to be having problem there, also. On my Administration Tools toolbar, I am seeing icons for Local Secutiry Policy and Performance, but I am not seeing an icon for Personal Web Manager. I am presently using Windows XP Professional.

How can I properly configure IIS so that I can start using ASP.net?

I am in the process of downloading the Beta file for the environment, thanks a million.


Taffy.

<html>
<head><title>My First ASP.NET Page</title></head>
<body>
<p>Hello there!</p>
<p>The time is now: <%=time%>


</body>
</html>

Thanks much

That isn't a valid ASP.NET page.

You need to add this to the top of the page:
<%@ Page language="c#" %>

and the time part should be, <%= System.DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() %>
