I don't know what's going on with my WebMatrix IDE, but other than html elements, .NET Elements like Form items and Functions do not display when the page is loaded. I am running the page on my system via http.

In the following example, the Time is suppose to be displayed, but it doesn't. I just recently installed WebMatrix with the .NET Framework amd SDK. According to what I've read, it should be ready for building applications, but it doesn't appear to be working:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor=&quot;white&quot;>
<center>
<p>
<%Response.Write(now())%>
</p>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance!
 
pow: the code of course is fine. Was IIS installed prior to .NET? FrontPage extensions? Generally, when this problem arises, it tends to be sequence of installation events. On the other hand, could just as well be something else - just a thought.
 
Yes, IIS was installed prior. It was also known to be working as well. I do not believe I have installed FrontPage extensions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
Could you please display the error message for us? This might give us a better idea as to why it might not be working. Not to lead you away, but have you posted your question on the forum for WebMatrix project? Thanks

regards,
Brian
The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
 
There isn't really any error message that appears on the page. However, in the lower left hand corner of my browser, there is an &quot;error icon (Black Exclamation point inside a yellow triangle)&quot; next to the word &quot;Done&quot;.

When I double click on the icon, the log displays &quot;Unterminated String Constant&quot;. The code I included in my first thread is basically from a tutorial that works when run from that site's server. Just won't run on my system. I do not know what brings about this obscure error.

I installed the .NET framework, IIS is running. With what little administration material available, I believe I've done what was asked.

Additional Information:
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro, IIS 5. As I said earlier, I have installed the .NET Framework.

How about the configuration file, machine.config, web.config, etc... I read about them, but I can't seem to find them on my hard drive?

Is there some administrative tasks that I have to perform now? Seems to be a fragmentized process to get this thing going.
 
Try a Windows Update. As I know ASP.NET needs IIS 6.0, FrontPage Extensions 2002 and Framework v1.0 to work.
 
Thanks Joulius. Turns out that I do not have IIS 6 & FP 2002 Extensions installed on my system. Can IIS 6 Run on a Windows 2000 Pro Workstation? I only see the literature metnion Windows 2003 Server.
 
Nevermind, I figured it out.

Thanks for your assistance.
