HELP: ASPX page shows up as normal HTML (ignores code-behind, etc...)

[VB Programmer]

Here's the quick situation:
1. Using VS.NET I create 1 fully functioning aspx page, with code behind.
(Simple webform: It has a few text boxes, 1 hyperlink, 2 and buttons.)
2. I uploaded it to my website and it works PERFECTLY.
3. My friend has a webserver and wants me to stick the aspx page into his
web server. He says it has IIS and the .NET framework.
4. I copy the aspx page, the web.config file and the bin directory and
place it on his server.

Result:
The page shows up almost like straight html. No text boxes, just text. No
buttons. The hyperlink doesn't even appear on the page.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try running this in a command (DOS) prompt:

aspnet_regiis -i

That should configure IIS to recognize ASP.NET files.

(aspnet_regiis.exe is located in
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322)


Hope this helps.

Have you create the application from IIS console manager??

Right click in Application folder, Property, Virtual directory Tab,
Application Name -> Create.

The directory is already in IIS because it was a "regular" website. I'm
simply adding 1 ASPX page (with code-behind) to this "regular" website. Is
there a special procedure to do this?

If the ASPX page is not in the root directory of the "'regular' website",
you need to create an application for the directory in which it resides.
Bruno just shared on how to do this.
