CSE686 - Internet Programming

This lecture is concerned with the Active Server Pages programming model. We will see that Web Applications are built in much the same way as WinForm programs. Syllabus describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects. ../projects/FinalProj1Su10.doc, ../projects/FinalProj2Su10.doc, ../projects/FinalProj3Su10.doc

Visual Studio (both 2008 and 2010) makes it easy to run Asp.Net applications - those with an aspx extension. However, it turns out that you cannot run Asp scripts - those with an asp extension - in Visual Studio (neither VS2008 nor VS2010). However, you can edit them easily in Visual Studio 2010 and run from IIS. Here are the steps:

Set up IIS to serve Asp applications. Our TA Vinay has put together a description of how to do that ../Presentations/VirtualDirectorySetUpProbsAndSolutions.doc. Use note pad or the Visual Studio editor to create your Asp application (use a .asp extension). Create a virtual directory for your asp application. The presentation ../Presentations/VirtDirVista.doc shows you how to do that for either Vista or Win7. The presentation ../Presentations/VirtDirXP.doc shows you how to do that for Windows XP, which is what the computers in CST 3-201 are running. Now, open a browser to the path: http://localhost/VirtualDirectoryName/AspFileName.asp. You should see your application running. If you get errors the browser may silently do nothing or display an error page. If that happens, comment out or remove the scripting parts and make sure you can see the rendering of the application's html. Now piece by piece add back in the scripting parts, viewing the results in the browser at each step.

If you use the Chrome browser, on errors, you should be redirected to web pages that provide some resources for debugging.
