Getting my head around it...

[Snarf]

I'm a C/C++ programmer with intermediate knowledge of VB and HTML. I
picked up VB.NET standard as it looked like it would allow me to create
web sites with more functionality and faster development than using
Javascript for my "computing" needs.

I picked up a copy of Visual Basic.Net all in one desk reference and
programmed one of the ASP.net examples in. I was very pleased with the
syntax and design and speed of programming. It tested perfectly using the
"virtual" localhost server.

Here's where my question comes in; when creating sites before, I would
make an index.html, toss it on the website and voila, when I went to that
site, the page would appear. I have read the help files but for the life
of me I'm not seeing the forest for the trees. If anyone could either
refer me to a knowledge article, usergroup, or step-by-step example that
gets my example up on my website I would be very grateful. You can make
the assumption that IIS is up and current on my website.

Thank you

What is your question exactly? I can't figure out what it is you are trying
to specifically ask.

There is a microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet newsgroup, which would
be the appopriate place for asp.net questions.

Make sure you have the .NET framework on your server.

When posting questions, please make sure to ask specific questions, display
any pertinent code, and include any error messages you are getting and under
what circumstances.

Instead of index.html you might want to try default.html or default.aspx.
