how to run aspx files on windows XP - asp.net

I have windows xp service pack 3 so i cannot download some of the proggrams.
I downloaded the next proggrams:
*visual c++ 2005 express edition(by the way it's imposibble to find the visual studio express edition of 2005 on microsoft download center)
*microsoft web platformer installer
*windows installer
*microsoft .net framework 2.0 service pack 1
*microsoft sql server 2005 express edition
and i still cannot run aspx files. everytime im trying to open an aspx file it opens it as text file, and doesnt allow me to run it(the file worked on other computers).
I assume the problem is in my visual studio version, can someone give me a link to a visual studio that will work for me(p.s if I need to download new sql server proggram or net framework I'll appriciate if you tell me as well).
and remember that I have winxp so I cant download visual studio 2012(p.s there is a way you can somehow devolop without paying for the software?)
any help will be apperciate.
Tnx Dean.

You need Visual Studio Web Developer Express and not Visual C++ Express Edition. Here is the link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=51413&clcid=0x409
And here you have 2008 - should work on XP too - http://www.asp.net/downloads/essential

Which IDE for VB.NET code built on .NET framework 2.5?

I used to use MS Visual Web Development (VWD) Express 2008 as IDE for a website which was developed on .NET framework 2.5 with VB.NET and runs on IIS 7 originally. About a year ago, MS stopped downloading the VWD Express 2008 and now I am in need of an IDE for my old VB.NET website. Which IDE will allow me to maintain this old VB.NET website?
Here is the detail info of VS 2019 community installed:
Here is screen shot of the existing project I am maintaining.
You can go with Visual Studio Express.
(edit: It is now called Visual Studio Community Edition).
It should work fine. To be honest, I never used Visual Web Developer.
Just keep in mind, that you want to open the project as a web site, and NOT a project. Quite sure that's how VW developer worked and was setup.
I'm not even sure they have VW developer anymore, but Visual Studio Express 2019 should be able to open + work on that web site.
So, to open a web application project, then you use this option:
(this means you have a .sln file).
So this:
However, this might ONLY be a web site project. So, you can use this option:
So, I would certinly try to open the project (folder) where the site exists, and see if you can find a .sln file.
If there is no .sln file, then you can try to open the .vbproj file.
But if you open a "web site", then you ONLY select the folder where the web site exists. (you don't open .sln, or .vbproj file - but open the FOLDER.
VS 2017 is the last one that explicitly mention supports for .NET 3.5, and the Community version is still available with the free Dev Essentials account. If you're ineligible for Community, then the Visual Studio Express 2015 for Web is the one you want.
That said, even in the latest VS 2022, I still see the option to switch a project to target .NET 3.5, and the template still offers Web Form development.

Unable to see biztalk project template in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

I have installed BizTalk 2013 R2 on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate is also installed on the same machine.
I cannot see BizTalk Project template while creating a new project in Visual Studio.
When I ran the BizTalk setup again, Developer Tools box was not selected. When I select the box it gives following message
Features you selected requires the following components to be installed:
WCF HTTP ACTIVATION 4.5, IIS ASP NET 4.5
When I check in the Server Manager, both of the above are already installed.
Kindly help me resolve this issue.
Have you registered ASP.NET 4.5 on the machine?
Try running this command:
aspnet_regiis -i
You can read more about the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
The easiest way to do this would be to run the Visual Studio Command Prompt.
Also make sure to run as an administrator.
To restore the default project templates
In the command prompt, navigate to the location of devenv.exe. This file is located in \Common7\IDE.
Type "devenv /installvstemplates" and press Enter.
NoteNote:
If you are using an Express Edition of Visual Studio, type "Express /installvstemplates" where is either VB, VJS, or VCS for Visual Basic, Visual J#, and Visual C#, respectively.
If this procedure does not restore the default templates, reinstall Visual Studio.

Crystal reports v12 doesnt show the report after hosting

I am working on a project in ASP.net 3.5 (with VB script) and Crystal Reports 2008 (V12). It works fine when I run my solution in visual studio(2008) but after publishing it to local IIS(7) it doesnt show the report in the report viewer. I don't see any error either.
I have placed the 'aspnet_client' folder under wwwroot folder that contains crystal report related files.
I had used crystal report 10.5 previously but then I had converted it to V12 as my host doent't support old versions.
Your support in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)
I recently faced this issue and successfully managed to get the reports running. I am using Visual Studio 2005 but I published my project on a local server with Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprise.
I fixed the issue by changing the Application Pool settings of IIS 7. I changed it to Classic ASP.NET for .NET 2.0 Framework. I guess you may not require this setting, but I am not sure.
Secondly, when you open your report in Visual Studio 2005, check that you are using OLE DB Provider for SQL Server and not SQL Native Client, just in case you are using SQL Server database.
Which OS you are using? I hope you are not using Windows XP. Windows XP has issues with the Integrated Security thing mentioned in your Connection String.

Correct installation order to a clean asp.net development enviroment

I want to setup a Win7 virtual machine to develop using Visual Studio 2008 and ASP.Net 3.5.
I don't know what the best order to install what I need. I will need to install:
a) Visual Studio 2008
b) IIS
c) Service Packs for Visual Studio and/or .Net Framework
My last try was bad, I cannot do my old ASP.Net 3.5 web app to work on Win7 (works fine on Win2003).
Another questions are, if I choose to use Visual Studio 2010 (to develop ASP.Net 3.5), it's recommended? And the installation order will change?
Thanks for all
Your best bet is to actually use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. This tool will walk you through installing ALL of the components you need to host a web application. Pick your platform (PHP, ASP.NET, etc), an optional application (DasBlog, etc), and even choose to download Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer + SQL Express. It will install everything for you seamlessly. I've used it and I highly recommend it for a "clean" install.
I'd install IIS first, then Visual Studio 2008. The framework will come with VS.NET 2008. If all goes wrong learn to use aspnet_regiis.exe

asp.net mvc 1.0 "project type is not supported" on Visual Studio 2008

I've installed (in this order):
64bit Windows7,
64bit Visual Studio 2008,
Microsoft Free Web Platform Installer (WEB PI)
- installed iis7
- bunch of samples
- ...
asp.net mvc 1.0
Visual Studio 2008 sp1
When opening an existing solution with mvc web application in it, i get this error:
"The project type is not supported by this installation" on Visual Studio 2008
I've noticed that almost all project templates are stored under "Program Files (x86)" not under "Program Files"...
I've also repaired vs2008, asp.net mvc 1.0 and nothing worked...
Just some things to try:
Have you updated Visual Studio 2008 to SP1 (google for download - its a bigge)?
Have you removed all previous traces of ASP.Net MVC Beta and RC installs?
Does the project contain MSTest tests and the version you are using does not support MSTest?
How did you install IIS7 (or rather 7.5 on Windows 7)? Did you do this via Add Remove Windows Features, did you enable ASP.Net when you drill into Internet Information Server ?
Can you create a new ASP.Net MVC application does this show in Add New Projects? And copy the Web.config over to the existing one? It may be possible it was created with a previous version and the assembly identies are no longer than same.
When you install Visual Studio 2008 did you untick the Web application bit in the Customize/Advance by any chance (cant recall exact wording) but IIRC it appears as sibling on the branch where Visual C# option is.
