Very basic beginner question (I hope)

Chele Sedai

I am on my first day of learning ASP.NET (I hope that doesn't chase
anyone away from my post!) I am using "ASP.NET For Dummies" (Yes, I am
so slow that I need this book to start with). The first exercise is to
print "Hello and Welcome" on the screen in increasing font size.

Here is the code which I typed in exactly from the book:

<%@Page Language="VB" Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello and Welcome Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<% Dim TextSize As Integer %>
<% For TextSize = 1 to 7 %>
>
Hello and Welcome! 

<% Next %>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Here is the result I get (centered on the screen):

Hello and Welcome!

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

I would assume you're not 'running' the page correctly. Meaning make
sure you have your virtual directory/web application folder setup
correctly, and that you named this file with an .aspx suffix. It looks
like it's not being run by ASP.NET at all....

Chele:
Code works fine...if you view source are you seeing all that code? You do
have the .Net framework installed right? You might need to register IIS ala

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspne t_regiis -i

I took this code and placed it in a file called test.aspx and it worked
as expected. Is this the actual code that you had typed. Try pasting
this into another file and see how it works.

I have installed the .Net Framework and I also installed IIS.

The file is sitting in the following directory (per the book's
instructions): inetpub\wwwroot\hello

(The actual path being inetpub\wwwroot\hello\welcome.aspx)

To run the file, I open up IE 6, SP 2 and type the following in the
Address bar: http://localhost/hello/welcome.aspx

Here is the HTML from View Source:

<%@Page Language="VB" Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello and Welcome Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<% Dim TextSize As Integer %>
<% For TextSize = 1 to 7 %>
>
Hello and Welcome! 

<% Next %>
</center>
</body>
</html>

I will try to save the file as a different name and see if I get
different results.

Your problem is that you're only viewing the file in the browser from the
filesystem and not via a webserver that hosts ASP.NET (like IIS). If you
look in the address bar of the browser does it say:

file://c:\pathtoyouapp.aspx

Or does it say:

http://UrlToYourApp.aspx

If it's the former then you need to configure your application in IIS or
some other webserver. If you don't have access to IIS, I'd suggest trying
WebMatrix[1]

Try this :

<% Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 to 7 %>
"> Hello and Welcome! 
<% Next %>

Notice the quotes after font size
and between the greater-than signs

Thank you!

Once I installed Web Matrix and started IIS from there, it ran just
fine!

I didn't realize that Web Matrix was a MUST HAVE, but I thought it was
optional. Thank you for pointing this out!
