More Problems with IIS

Chris · Apr 22, 2007

I was having problems using my local IIS to display asp.net pages, or any
pages for that matter. I actually reinstalled IIS and then uninstalled the
..net framework and reinstalled it. All pages now work including my asp.net
pages sort of....... What I mean is the page now displays without a server
unavailable error (I resolved this by putting asp.net permissions on the
folder containing the aspx pages). However when I point IIS at that folder
and run the page I see the page but it doesn't respond to any events e.g. I
have created a basic web page with a button, which should run a
response.write line of code. This works when I preview it in the Cassini web
server via VS but not IIS. What obvious thing am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Chris.

How are you wiring the button ? Can you post the failing code ?

Here's a simple page which tests several events and runs code when a button is pushed:

helloworld.aspx:
-----------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" EnableViewState="false" trace="true" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(obj as object, e as eventargs)
Trace.Write("Begin PreInit", Now)
Trace.Write("End Render", Now)
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Label1.Text = "Hello, " & TextBox1.Text & "! Welcome to a Hello World ASP.NET example."
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<p>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">Write your name inthe textbox and click the
button.</asp:Label>
</p>
<p>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Button id="Button1" onclick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Button">
</asp:Button>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

The button doesn't work. The code in on load event does but the button
doesn't?? Weird. Here is the failing code. Bear in mind I have been
reinstalling things (see first post and the one I made a little earlier that
you responded to) so I don't know whether I have inadvertantly done
something. Could there be something in the web.config or machine.config.
Thanks Juan.

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

Not weird at all. You aren't wiring the OnClick event to the code.

Use :
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />

Not weird at all - it's doing exactly what you told it to or, rather, it's
not doing what you haven't told it to...

You've forgotten to specify the server-side method to run in response to the
OnClick event...
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
OnClick="Button1_Click" />

Than kyou Juan. I was runing the pages without building the site. I even
removed the OnClick="Button1_Click" from my page and it worked. Is this
right? I was under the impression that asp.net does not need to compile the
page if it has a code behind it will do it on the first view of the page. Am
I misunderstanding something? Thanks for the help Juan.
