Looks ok to run in my environment.

do you have IIS installed and properly run in your system? Did you map your aspx page into correct directory?

You can't preview an aspx like what you preview a normal HTML page using F12 in DW.

you need to first compile your aspx pages, and then In your IIS, create a website/ application/ virtual path to show your aspx pages.

For the ease of troubleshooting, why don't you install the Visual Studio? you can download it from MSDN.

i have a virtual directory where teh website is published byt upon running the pagethe source code will be shown instead of the design

I'm not really using DW to develop ASPX pages, so probably I can't help much but to provide you alternative solution of using Visual Studio.

If you're still keen and trying to resolve it in DW, you may try have a look on these articles:

sorry as I don't have DW installed in my local environment that I can't simulate the issue you're encountered.
