ASP .NET pages - trouble displaying pages

Hello folks,

I have a remote desktop which is running W2K Pro and IIS web server. Everything is working fine including http://localhost etc. Pages are displaying properly. My hostname for the desktop is Polebird and http://polebird is displaying IIS launch page.

I accessed this web site from my laptop in my LAN and when I put in http://polebird and as advertised it gave me the Under Construction default page. Then I set myself to write my ASP .NET application all excited and all. I have Visual Studio IDE and C#/.NET loaded on the laptop. I used this laptop to generate a .NET C# Web project on polebird server.

A subweb was created using Frontpage Extension on the Polebird server, and I could see the files I stored in Visual Studio on my lap top on the remote desktop. I created a sample web form consisting of labels, text boxes and a button. Additionally I created a simple label called "Hello World!! The time now is <% = DateTime.Now.ToString() %>", set some vague background colors etc.

Whenever I open this project in my laptop Visual Studio IDE, it asks me to supply user name and password on the remote Webserver. I use Administrator and the password to access, and the project opens properly. So far no issues. For further conversation I call my project MyWebProject and the form MyWebForm.

Once I finish my forms and go to IE browser and type http://polebird/MyWebProject/MyWebForm.aspx it shows me all the labels BUT the buttons and text boxes won't paint (here is where I am stuck as of now). I use the right click menu on the browser do a View Source I could see all the <asp:TextBox id="tbxNickName" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 171px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 49px" runat="server" Width="188px" Height="21px"></asp:TextBox> for example.

I am clueless as to why only the labels and not of the ASP code would execute. It does not execute the ASP code or the display the web controls. I am thinking it is permission issue, I checked the Web Administration tool and I could see Execute Permission for Scripts is set for this subweb. Then I thought it could be that Polebird does not have the .NET framework. So I used the Windows Component Update disk of my C# package and installed the latest FrontPage and tools that came with the CD. Still no success.

Any help or pointers as to why this thing won't paint and/or execute the ASP related code is highly appreciated.

Thanks so much for those who could help.

a) Ensure that the .Net Framework Redistributable is installed on the
Polebird. This allows .Net webpages and applications to be run on the
machine. You can find this on the Windows Component Update CD, or you can
download it from:
http://www.asp.net/download-1.1.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1
(under Step 2)

b) If you are sure that the Redistributable is installed, but your ASP.Net
pages are still not being processed, then I suggest you locate the
aspnet_regiis.exe executable on the harddisk of Polebird (the location will
be slightly different depending on which version of the Framework you have
installed). Mine is located in:
c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\

Then, using a command prompt, run:
aspnet_regiis -i
which will correctly register ASP.Net file extensions with IIS (eg .aspx
pages)

Cheers
Ken
