Well... since you said "VB or VB.Net", I'll post this sample.... extremely
easy. Tip on the sample...... he's treating a form as a class... save your
time and use it like he does, instead of attempting to merge it all into one
form. If used "as is", it's a breeze.

While there, I noticed this... if I'm reading correctly, it's built on
Framework version 1.0

Tom, It sounds to me like ASP, not ASP.NET is handling the request for WebForm1.aspx. This is most likely an IIS config issue that may have been caused by order of installation or reinstallation, or possibly even something that happened in IIS before .NET was installed. Here is a way to prove or disprove my theory:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
