hi there, do you know how can I create an ASP project with VS.NET ? everytime I try to create, there is problem like "UNC share does not exist or don't have access". I'm using Windows XP home and VS.NET, desperately waiting for your replies.

Do you have IIS installed somewhere?
You are required to have IIS running somewhere, and that IIS box must have the .NET framework installed.

When i installed VS.NET, i remember that you must do a couple of extra things during the initial set up to allow VS.NET to produce web stuff.. Its definitely means enabling IIS and i believe something to do with Frontpage extensions.

These 2 links may help

Good luck.
I am currently working on ADO.NET and have not mastered it yet so i have not even started web stuff..

Take Care,
AJ.

Oh that reminds me, I can not install Frontpage Server Xtension and don't know how to install IIS. When I got to Ms Homepage, I always lose my way there.

Do you think XP home can install IIS ? if yes, could you pls give me the installation link and guide for it ?

No, I'm pretyy sure XP home wont install IIS. But to check, put in your Windows CD and go to Add/Remove programs.

nah I believe XP Pro is required for IIS and dont' think PWS will work with ASP.NET :/

Oh does that mean I have to get an XP Pro Installation ? Man, reinstall and find a CD is not so easy, but.. thanks a lot buddies.

yes, IIS comes with the following....

XP Pro
2000 Pro
2000 Server variant

It probably comes with 2003, but I'm not sure which versions since there's a thousand different versions nowadays

Yikes! I wouldn't migrate to 2003 just yet.

For one, it ain't ready for prime time.
Two, you have to install IIS6. IIS5 won't run on 2003. Conversely, IIS6 won't run on 2000.

And there are several other server-related incompatibilities between 2003 and 2000 and what they can and can't run.

I didn't say anything about migrating, it sounds like he's just doing this at home.. the ASP should mostly be the same.
Overall I agree don't bother with 2003 anytime soon.
