Help! ARGH! .net not recognizing VB

[RWC]

Hi Folks,

I have a windows 2000 server installation, IIS is running and the ASP.NET
1.1 SDK has been installed. I'm reading a book on ASP.NET and the lessons
call for the first line to read <%@ Page Language="VB"%> . When I save the
page and run it (from a remote machine) I get the following message;

"The scripting language 'VB' is not found on the server."

I haven't been able to find ANY other solution. When I type this into
google, I get about 4 hits. Any suggestions or diagnostic tools would be
great.

If you email from this post, remove the caps and underscores from the email
address

Thanks in Advance!

Are you sure asp.net is running on this machine? Does your file have a .aspx
extension?

Did you install asp.net *after* installing IIS? (you should)

Dis you give your page an aspx extension (mind the "X")?

[RWC]

Hi Marina. Thanks for the quick reply.

I ran the ASPNET_REGIIS.E XE with the /i switch from the 1.1 folder, so I'm
assuming it's running, I don't know where to look to find the current
running version. I have it saved with a .asp extension, but have also tried
..aspx which produces another error (if you go to
http://hemmingway.dyns.cx/Testapp.aspx ). Not sure what I'm missing, but
it's driving me nutty!

Thanks!

I don't think you have to have a language designation. Try removing it and
see what happens. I suspect there is some other problem.

[RWC]

Hi Mike,

This is about as simple as it gets. The following is the page that I have
saved as Testapp.aspx. As you can see, nothing fancy happening here (the
actual page does not include the opening and closing quotes);

"<%@Page Language=VB%>

Sub Button_Click(ob j as object,e As EventArgs)
response.write( obj.text)
end sub
</script>
<html><body>
<form runat=server>
<asp:button id="btSubmit" text="Submit"
runat=server
onclick="button _click"/><p>
</form>
</body>
</html>"

We can't see the error from the outside, because we are not running on that
server.

I don't really see, how you expected asp.net, to run an ASP page. ASP pages
are for ASP to process. ASP.NET can only process pages that end with 'aspx'.

In any case, we can't see your error, so not much we can do.

Hi Marina. As stated previously, I've tried both extensions. Per your

You have a permissions problem Make sure that ASP.net has access to the
directory it is looking for. And that it actually exists.

But what you need to do first, is to make sure a basic asp.net page can be
served up. Forget about trying to put code in it to do file access.
