Linking a .asp page from .aspx page - asp.net

I am wondering whether could I link a .asp page from a .aspx page. I am using Visual Studio 2012 and I have few .asp pages created before. I want to transfer my new .aspx page to some of these .asp pages. But when I do that it is not showing up in my web browser. It moves to that page but nothing is shown up. I am pretty new to ASP.NET and please guide me.

If should not happen if you are using IIS express to debug (start directly within Visual Studio), but if you are using IIS to host and run the site, it might be because you did not add the asp support to IIS, you could double check it by going to IIS manager -> Handler Mappings, looking for aspClassic, if it does not exist, it means you need to go into Program And Features in control panel to enable that.

Source Code shows for ASP.NET web page

I have a simple .aspx file that I want to run in my browser. I have installed IIS, along with all ASP.NET features, on my local machine. I am using USBWEBSERVER as a server to display my web pages.
When I put in the path of the file of my of web page (.aspx file), just like I do with all my PHP pages, I get the source code (instead of the GUI).
How can I set this up so .aspx pages will work on my machine?
I think you have to get a web server that supports ASP.NET. Right now, there's IIS Express, which is free and can host a multitude of technologies:

Master Page cannot be loaded in C# ASP.Net publish

I am currently new to ASP.NET C# programming and have created a ASP.net Web application project in visual studio 2010, .NET 4.0. I have researched thoroughly to find a solution to my problem the last couple days but had no luck.
My issue is, debugging my project has no issues running on my local machine. I have a Site.Master page that is reference with a site.css. All my .ASPX pages run through the master site. However when i publish my website using File System
and setting my target location to my desktop, any call on a < href> tag to my default.aspx cannot load the site.master page. the error is as follows:
"The Master Page file 'Site.Master' cannot be loaded.
Correct the problem in Code View".
now i do have IIS 7.5 installed, and i have tried to create a website through the inetmgr by following various steps through google searches and videos and still have no luck. is there something specific i am missing? everything is named the same in reference to stylesheet.
In addition to WraithNath's comment, might want to ensure IIS is configured to allow ASP.NET

setting default page in asp.net app

We have a asp.net app, in which index.aspx is the default document in the website, instead of default.aspx.
Index.aspx is set as start page in the project too. but when I am trying to open for example: http://localhost:2265/, 1st I was getting the default.aspx page, after I removed the default.aspx file from the solution, now I have the directory listing displayed.
I would like to get index.aspx when I am entering http://localhost:2265/, is that possible to be set in the project or only in IIS?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays, Laziale
This is controlled from the server, which could either be IIS or the development server that's bundled with Visual Studio.
If you're launching the app from within Visual Studio, then the controls can probably be found under the properties of the ASP web site/app that you're launching. You could also right click the page itself and select "Set As Startup Page".
All of this doesn't affect the behaviour of the app once it's hosted in IIS, however. You'll need to find similar settings in the IIS page - there should be many a tutorial on the web for that (I can point you to one if you're having trouble).
Hope this clears up the behaviour of default pages!
Just open your solution in VS, then select the page you would like to be the startup page and do a right click and select 'Set As Start Page' option
In your project right click on the page you want to be your landing page and click "Set as Start Page".
This will only work when you run it from Visual Studio though. If you want to do it once it's deployed you will have to use IIS or setup a redirect I believe.

Contents of a code-behind file is rendered instead of a control

I have a user control which is being added to a page dynamically. It works fine on my computer whether a site is running on an integrated Visual Studio server or deployed to IIS.
But when the site is deployed to a production server, I see the contents of a user control's code-behind file instead of a control.
Have you any ideas what can cause this?
Thank you.
EDIT: The site is running on IIS 6 and here is the code I am using to add the control to a page
`this.Controls.Clear();
this.Controls.Add(LoadControl("MyUserControl.ascx"));`
Yikes. That should never happen. Are other ASP.NET pages working correctly? Are you sure ASP.NET is properly registered on the server? I think you'll need to give us some more information... what version of IIS are you running, and post the code where you dynamically add the user control.

What can cause ASPNET AJAX page to revert to normal ASPX mode ? / UpdatePanel broken

I am using VS 2008 with a very simple UpdatePanel scenario.
But i cannot get UpdatePanel to work and cant seem to find out why
I have in fact reverted to a very simple example to validate it is not my code:
http://ajax.net-tutorials.com/controls/updatepanel-control/
In this example I click on either button and both text links update.
I dont get any errors, the page just behaves like a normal ASPX page.
What things do i need to check. I've been googling this for an hour and not found what I need.
Edit: Works in Visual Studio web server but not in IIS
If it's working locally, but not when deployed to a remote server, that usually indicates that you're using ASP.NET 2.0 and the ASP.NET AJAX extensions aren't installed on the remote server.
If it's a server you have administrative control over, you can download the installer here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca9d90fa-e8c9-42e3-aa19-08e2c027f5d6&displaylang=en
If it's a web host, tell them to get their act together.
Another option would be to check your web.config. You could for example create an new Ajax enabled ASP.NET website from Visual Studio. This will generate a correct web.config. Copy over all non-ajax sections from your existing web.config and you're set. This worked for me.
