I'm quite new in ASPX development, as I was a desktop application developer for the past 18 years.
I am creating this ASPX / VB.NET application and when I build it and run it shows all the changes I did without any problem, but when I publish it shows the results in the attached picture.
Could you please help me by guiding me in the right settings and I will be very much appreciated?
Thanks in advance.
You are running the application from IIS? Set default page to view to your required page.

We have a website running ASP.NET MVC 4 which would occasionally show the HTML page source when loaded, instead of the output generated by the view + controller. Restarting the associated Application Pool fixes this until it randomly happens again.
The web server is an AWS EC2 instance running on Windows 2012. Trying to Google this turned out to be in vain. Has anyone experienced this and knows what's the cause and how to fix this?
Thanks.
We have this old ASP.net website which requires some basic link updates and to place some hard coded images aside from our CMS.
Now i downloaded the entire website from the FTP to load up and test on my local machine.
But when i tried loading it in visual studio it loads perfectly, but when i try to start the website to test if its loading it does not load in my browser.
After that i started googling away looking for solutions, but i did not find any that worked for me.
I attached an image with the problem im facing, i hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.Error
This is my first ASP.NET project so I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to a lot of the configuring of IIS/Visual Studio so bear with me...
I am using Visual Studio 2010 running on Windows Server 2008 SR2. We recently did some updates on the server and now my project no longer loads when I attempt to debug. When I try to debug the default "Welcome" page for IIS 7 loads instead of my project. I am set up to use the development server to debug, not IIS so I don't understand why I get the IIS page. Before the updates the debugger was pulling up my page without any issues.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
It looks like IIS is now bound to the port number that Visual Studio Development Web Server was using previously. You can change the port number in the properties of the web site project.
I have found a solution to my issue. I decided to use IIS instead of the Development Server for debugging. After attempting to debug unsuccessfully yet again, I took a look at the identity that was being used in the application pool and I changed to one with more privileges and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the suggestions.
I had the same problem but non-of the earlier answers worked.
I am using Windows 7 enterprise 64-bit, IE11, VS2010, Silverlight 5
I have been developing and maintaining a number of Silverlight projects for the past 5 years, and have always been able to debug them within VS2010 using the ASP.NET Development Server. However, on returning from some well deserved holiday, I found that none of my existing Silverlight projects would run in the debugger. In each case there is a Web project set as the start-up project, and in each case on starting the project within VS2010 (with or without debugging) I got the IIS7 web page instead of my application.
I tried creating a new Silverlight web application, and found that this started normally in the ASP.NET Development Server. I checked my source code and found that no changes had been made in my absence.
After a lot of head scratching, etc., the solution was to clear the IE cache. These are the explicit steps I used:
Close all instances of IE and ASP.NET Development Server.
Open Internet Properties from the Control Panel.
Click "Delete" on the General Tab.
In the Delete Browsing History box check the following options:
a) "Preserve Favourites website data"
b) "Temporary Internet files and website data"
c) "Cookies and website data"
Leave the others unchecked
5) Click "Delete" and wait for the command to complete.
6) Close the Internet Properties box.
7) Rebuild ASP.NET project
8) Start (with or without debugging) in VS2010 - it should now load normally.
Hope this works for you.
I have installed the Visual Studio 2008 sp1 Report Viewer Redistributable on the web server. I had to download it from microsoft, because the location I've seen other people post does not exist on my install of visual studio. I downloaded the one that is located here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=BB196D5D-76C2-4A0E-9458-267D22B6AAC6&displaylang=en.
I think the location people say ReportViewer.exe is in, is usualy: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\ReportViewer\ReportViewer.exe. I have Visual Studio Team Suite Development Edition 2008 and the v2.0 directory under SDK does not exist. That may be some of my problem, I do not think so though.
I say all that to say that I can design the Microsoft Report, and I can run the page with the report viewer locally just fine. It seems to work really great, and could help out the company quite a bit.
However when I deploy to the webserver the page that host the reportviewer control will allways either say "This page does not have a precompiled..", or something like that. It usualy doesn't say anything and just sits there trying to load.
Other pages in the same website do not exhibit these symptoms. I have also successfully gotten crystal reports to display it's viewer, by installing the redistributable on the web server.
There must be something going on with one of our web servers. I finally got the report to load and it came up with an error message that said the same thing that this forum post talks about http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsreportcontrols/thread/b237dbab-7670-4c7a-b9af-70c5be7101d9.
I was then able to check the box that says allow precompiled site to be updatable. That fixed my issue. I now have both crystal and microsoft reports working correctly. Maybe this post will help someone else.
edit 2/18/2010 8:18am cst I thought it was fixed apparently not, as soon as I published to the web server again, the page will not load anymore. I am going to try and setup a completely new server in a virtual machine, to try and do more testing.
edit 2/19/2010 8:17am cst I spent alot of yesterday setting up a brand new virtual machine with server 2003, visual studio 2008, and sql 2005. I ran the same report page, all it has on it is the report viewer control. It still will not load. I figure there is something you have to do with IIS configuration to get it to work, since it won't load with default settings.
edit 2/19/2010 9:47am cst I have created a new web application with only the report in it, brand new web.config file. Something about my web.config file is causing the problem. This new web application is apparently working. I am now going to try and see if any new pages can be added to the previous web app at all. Maybe something is causing all new pages to not load.
edit 2/19/2010 10:12am cst Bizarrely the report sometimes loads. This happens on both the test environment, and the production environment. I did find a somewhat funny angry bug report to microsoft that explains the problem with the rdlc files compiling. That is what produces the following error:
**
An error occurred during local report processing.
The definition of the report 'Main Report' is invalid.
The report definition is not valid. Details: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
**
The Bug report url: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/468068/rdlc-files-are-build-into-resources-during-publish-this-is-a-marker-file
The blog post url that fixes it: http://weblogs.asp.net/stephensonger/archive/2008/09/10/deploying-rdlc-files-in-local-mode-for-asp-net-applications.aspx
As you can tell, possibly you don't find it funny, but there is a bug that causes rdlc files to compile for some reason. You can also fix it by having your site be updatable, which is one of the check boxes you can check when you publish in visual studio.
edit 2/19/2010 10:51am cst My next step is to snapshot the current virtual machine, go back to the point I installed sql 2005. At that point I'll install visual studio 2010 rc and see if it exhibits the same problem.
edit 3/3/2010 9:15am cst I don't know what fixed it, but both crystal and microsoft reports have been displaying correctly for awhile now. I made no changes other than what I have mentioned here.
I'm not a web developer, so what seems weird to me is hopefully an easy one.
Have an existing ASP.NET web site which I need to modify, using VS 2008. I worked on an aspx page and somehow the CSS settings changed and messed the page up badly. I restored the old CSS files and now the page is fine again in the IDE but still a mess when I run the project.
Any ideas would be much appreciated

Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?
Could it be, that website needs authentication (i.e. FormsAuthentication) ?
If so, the Visual Studio ASP.NET Development Server also blocks css files and images making your web app look like crap in Visual Studio... IIS however doesn't have this behaviour, so when you deploy your site, all looks nice and tidy...
