<% %> Render Blocks Sunday, July 31, 2005 5:11 AM (permalink)

0

I am using WinXp. I have installed IIS and am trying to use ASP. When I write some code using HTML the results appear on the browser.
When I use any commands using render blocks i.e. <% %> nothing is dispalyed.
For example when I enter the following:
<html>
<body>
The date is now <%= Now() %> .
</body>
</html>

The output is :
The date is now .

The date is not dispalyed. Can any one tell what the problem is.

Regards,
Satish

Hiya Satishbeh.

Are you saving your file as .ASP? Do you have your file under wwwroot? (or manually linked through Computer Managment (IIS))?

Snipah

PS my output is: The date is now 31-7-2005 20:10:39 .

the file location i call is: http://localhost:8080/asp/date.asp

Any text written out of the <% %> block is displayed. i.e. The date is <%= now() %> output : The date is The actual date is not displayed. Has it something to do with the browser. My browser is IE 6.0 I your reply you have entered 8080. What does that stand for ?

Here's a link that describes it a little more in detail. http://aerohost.com/aspx-net.htm

Can you try using the same in a file by name .aspx and let me know the results.

Those <% %> blocks are no longer used in ASP.NET (althoug I think you still can use them)
In ASP.NET you are supposed to put all your code into pages so called "code behind". These pages reside on the server side, thus you no longer need those <% %> blocks. The "code behind" pages can be written in VB.NET or C# or ... Providing a way to make your front end in HTML (ASP.NET) and your code in the language you prefer.

I can't go into much detail about the differences between ASP and ASP.NET (both because I don't know enough about it and because it would be blogging in stead of posting on a forum), but there are lots of webpages convering this issue. Just do some googling.
