Hello,

I have just spent the last 30 minutes Searching
Microsoft. The reason is that I have a trial version of
Visual Studio .NET and I am trying to write an ASP.NET
application. However whenever I try an create it I am
getting the following error message "Visual Studio .NET
cannot create or open the application because no web
server was detected at this
URL: 'http//localhost/WebApplication1'. Make sure the web
server is installed and running".

I am running XP Home with the latest service pack.

Thanks
Peter
 
Hi Peter,

And on a XP home is no IIS server so you cannot use Visual.studio.Net to
create webapplications on that, or you should have a seperate IIS server
working together with Asp.net.

You are not glad with the answer, but better to know than to search to long.

Or find an alternative on Google, I am not sure of they real works, although
I have seen often here, you can try.......................................

Download WebMatrix (you can find it easily in Google). Its no where near as
good as visual studio but it does have a web server and its completely free.
If you want to develop windows apps using .Net may i suggest SharpDevelop,
it used to be buggy as hell but its improved a hell of a lot. Oh and its
free too :)

Take care, Peter

Others have given you suggestions. You can also upgrade to XP Pro, which
does have IIS v5.1 (a web server). This would allow you to run you ASP.NET
applications.

XP Home does not come with a web server, and you cannot get IIS for it.
 
You've got your answer. In the future, direct ASP.NET questions to:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

Also, (IMHO) if you searched MS for 30 minutes and couldn't come up the the
product requirements for VS.NET to create ASP.NET appications and you aren't
familiar with what a web server is and why it is required, then you may want
to read up a bit on how the WWW operates before you dive into .NET.
 
No need to be too hard. Best of luck Peter, see ya in
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet ;)

Peter
