IIS and .NET

[fsteeman]

I have been developing a website in ASP.NET framework 2.0 beta, locally on my work's PC, where I could run and test without problems.
I can not run and test it remotely on our server yet, because the server-people want to wait till the official release of .NET 2.0 to upgrade from 1.1.

However, I wanted other people to see and test my website under development already now, so it was suggested to me to install IIS om my own PC and have that work as a webserver for the time being.

Fair enough, I added this IIS as a windows component under WinXP Pro. Typing the IP-address of my computer in a browser gets me to the different html-pages at the website. No problem there. However, every time I want to access a .aspx an error is thrown in the browser window.

For example, when I type "

http://130.225.209.162/index.htm"

everything is just peachy. However, when I write: "

http://130.225.209.162/Default.aspx"

Then the following error message shows in the browser (translated from Danish):

XML interpretation error: not correctly formed address:

http://130.225.209.162/Default.aspx

Line number 1, Column 2:<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
-^

Is there some setting I forgot? Is IIS at all aware of the .NET framework?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

you need to change settings in your IIS manager...

click on the aspx check box so that it can run asp.net pages...

more precisely...open IIS manager....right click on your servername...i think one of the tabs says documents...add default.aspx in the list...

-DNG

I did that, but it didn't work. Maybe 5.0 does not support this? Or what about reinstalling the .NET framework?
