How to display my c# code on an asp page?

You are trying to display the return value from a function whose return type is void--meaning there is no return type. Why are you defining a console application inside of your web application to begin with? What is the overall goal?

Oh, I didnt realize I was lol.  How can you tell its a console application?  I was following a tutorial to test the server connection to my database.  I am trying to out put information from my Users table in my sql server database.

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from Users", conn);

I don't have a name space currently. Does it matter what I choose to name it?

Why is my id coming up not recognized?

I defined includeLiteral as an id in my test.aspx file, shouldn't that be enough???

I don't see that option:

Sorry, please disregard the last suggestion. You made a web site, not a web application.

Your new error is my fault, any way. I gave you a class name of "_Default", but that is not correct. Change "class _Default" to "class test".

ok I renamed the class but its still has a red underline and my webpage still doe not work.

Is it better to make a web application versus a website?

so the class name has to match the aspx file name?

AFAIK, no. It just needs to match what you put in the Inherits attribute of the Page directive.

1. Is a namespace really necessary?  Without it could I just have Inherits="test"  ?

2. I am not getting any errors in visual studio, but when I try to run the page in the browser it does not work still.  Any ideas as to why?

What does the page say is the error when you view it in the browser?

I really like your examples of the namespaces.  I remember back in php I would want to have two functions named the same things but do different things and be used in different situations but I couldn't! I think this will come in handy :)

Here's what it says in the browser:

it has a problem with line 30 but I don't know why.. .

Did you add a connection string to your web.config file? The structure should be similar to:

<configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
      <add name="connection"
           connectionString="your connection string here"
           providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> <!-- the provider may change if you're not using SQL Server -->

    </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

Select allOpen in new window

ok, I took away the first one entirely but still the same error message in the browser :(

yep its all correct, that's why I'm stumped

Does you database server use Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication?

Windows authentication

might having problem with connection to the server create a good connection string

using,

and check for your authentication on demo application...
and if work then implement it on website..
