ASP.NET 2.0 Just Do It!

ASP.NET 2.0  Just Do It!Most books (especially about .NET, it seems) give you lots of concepts and theories and detailed, boring analysis before they ever let you jump in and play with the stuff. Don’t expect that here, though; I turn the traditional philosophy of chapter-order sequence on its head. In this book, I start by getting your server and development environment configured and set up so that you can create your first ASP.NET page in this chapter. There’s no teacher like experience!


To work with most computer languages, you use a development environment. Usually this involves an editor that you use to write the source code and to access the utilities that make your development and debugging go faster and more smoothly. These environments put at your fingertips every tool you need to write, run, and test applications that you create. ASP.NET is different. It’s a development technology that is built into the .NET Framework. You can easily create great ASP.NET 2.0 applications with nothing more than Notepad or your favorite editor.

Many versions of Windows, by default, hide known extensions from you. This can be a problem if Notepad saves your file as test.aspx.txt because the file might show up in Explorer as test.aspx (hiding the .txt extension). It looks right, but the .txt extension prevents your Web server from recognizing it as an ASP.NET page. Of course, this can be very confusing. To show extensions in Windows Explorer, choose Tools?Folder Options. Then click the View tab and scroll down until you find the option labeled Hide File Extensions for Known File Types. Make sure that check box is not selected.
