Why won't my asp.net page run

When I run any page using asp.net in Dreamweaver CS3 all I get displayed is the code.

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MM" Namespace="DreamweaverCtrls" Assembly="DreamweaverCtrls,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=836f606ede05d46a,culture=neutral" %>
<MM:DataSet 
id="dsStaff"

ConnectionString='<%# System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("MM_CONNECTION_STRING_connIVOLaw") %>'
DatabaseType='<%# System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("MM_CONNECTION_DATABASETYPE_connIVOLaw") %>'
CommandText='<%# "SELECT *  FROM dbo.tblstaff" %>'
Debug="true" PageSize="10"
></MM:DataSet>

Do you have IIS and asp installed?

Rouchie

After installing IIS with ASP support you must then install the .NET framework.

1) IIS
http://www.webwizguide.com/kb/asp_tutorials/installing_iis_winXP_pro.asp
2) ASP
http://www.webcheatsheet.com/asp/asp_install.php
3) .NET
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en (you may also need version 1 & 2 as these are different)

Then access your web site via your new web server like this http://localhost/mywebsitedir/mypage.aspx and not like this C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\mypage.aspx

Yes, I am running IIS 6, .net 3.5 and I have 1 and 2 installed and SDk 1.1. My server is working fine for aspx files that don't have any asp controls on them and .html files. As soon as I add a call to the dataset it just stops working. No error message or anything. Really frustrating. I have spent so long on this problem that I'm determined to get it to work. I currently have my testing server 1 level down from wwwroot in a sub directory. My dreamweaverctls.dll is in both a /bin at wwwroot level and at the subdirectory level for good measure!! I've added the .dll on the web server tab in dreamweaver just to try but nothing seems to make a difference. It is so nearly working.

Hi Rouchie, Thanks for your comments. I decided to try one more time before giving up and guess what it worked!! I uninstalled the Adobe Master suite off my computer, reinstalled Dreamweaver and Acobat only. Deleted the virtual website in IIS. Created a subdirectory under wwwroot to use as testing server directory. I've created three forms this morning, one using just 1 field and it worked, thought I'll be brave and try an update wizard form, it worked and have just created spry fields and they are working! Guess you should start with a completely new computer if you want to do this. Thanks for your help, I'll continue with Dreamweaver for this project and do the next one in VSWD.
