As Punit said, if you installed IIS before installing VS, the VS installation should configure IIS for asp.net. If you are not using vs, the simple way to check for errors is by visiting the .aspx page. Then asp.net will compile the page if not yet compiled and show the errors if any.
The database generally is placed outside of website but with SQLServer 2005 you can optionally place the database files under app_data folder of an asp.net application.
To start a new asp.net application in IIS,1. Create a virtual directory in IIS and make it an application by right-clicking it and pressing create button from the properties window. 2. Create your .aspx pages and other code-behind files under newly created virtual directory.
3. Use IE to visit the new pages and see if any errors are there or not.If you can get here then most of the basic things are correctly setup and working properly.

I have IIS setup. Did not know about enabling .net but will read. I will pull code from VS AutoGenerated and my own modules. I want to learn what the structure of a WebSite in IIS is. Where do things like the CodeBehind modules, Resource Files (Likely Import Declaritivs), GAK?, Assembly and Manefest and how does the DataBase sit, inside IIS or Outside? What is inside the various modules, I know the codeBehind but not the others very well. I will be doing some coding by hand and generating code from inside VS to cut and paste into the hand written app. Finally, after coding an app by hand, how do you test and get error messages? VS does that now and in the old days we used a compiler. Any suggestions?Rick USA----- Original Message ----- From: "public.niran" <public.niran@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 10:56 PM Subject: Re: Disecting Visual Studio Output Modules and Asp.netIf you have iis setup and has enabled .net 2.0 for iis, you shouldn't need any thing other than notepad to develop asp.net sites.All the assemblies required for asp.net are installed with .net 2.0. There is no need to download anything else for ado.net or vb.net to work.Don't know much about the resource files, since you are going to install vs2008, you can use that to create resource files etc. I still thing you should use vs because it would save a lot of time with it's code completion feature. You can still write asp.net tags and learn with vs and not do drag and drop development. Deploying asp.net sites is mostly copying files to iis, does not make any difference if you are using vs or notepad. Yes you can compile and turn your site into assemblies with vs and deploy them rather than copying pure code files.HTH, Niran----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Thomas" <rthomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 2:29 AM Subject: Disecting Visual Studio Output Modules and Asp.net Hi Guys:Just reading up on Asp.net. I would like to build some WebSites using Asp.net and NotePad, or some Asp.net friendly text editor, rather than Visual Studio. Will I need to download Ado.net and a vb.net Editor / compiler along with Asp.net? Does Asp.net use assemblies and manifests and what about resource files and CodeBehind or Business Objects? Finally, I will download Visual Studio Pro 2008. Anyone loaded VS over the SDKs, or the other way around? I would like to be able take the VS Generated code and build standard Asp.net pages and code or resource directories much like they do in PHP ApacheMySql HTML environment and copy them directly into my brand new shiny IIS..Any good books or tutorials?There is one example on the GrabBag if I remember. This seems the only way to learn in-depth Asp.net programming instead of drag, drop and pray.Thanks: Rick USA __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
