Hello!

I use VS 2010 professional. I try to enter an example from a book that I
read but it doesn't work.
I have created a VB project and enter the code below in an aspx file.

The text say "To try this page out, open a browser and type in the URL,
appending the query string
?quantity=5&itemid=Item&unitPrice=54.
Nothing happen but according to the book it should display the following
<updateTotalRespone>
<discount>10 </discount>
<extPrice>243 </extPrice>
</updateTotalRespone>

I try to use the built in web server in Visual Studio.

So what is it that I have missed here ?

You have a couple of choices. Either delete everything above <script
langauge="VB" runat="server"> and everything below </script>, or move
the contents of the script block into code behind.

Actually, I'm not sure the second option will work. I know the first one
does.
