Can't Go into Design View of ASP

[asplearner2006]

Hi

I can't go into the design view of asp.
I am now using VS 2003.
Whenever i try to go in to the desing view '<%%>' block, in the html i don't see anything similer. i suspect vb script.
Can asp convert to aspx?
As i was start from aspx i prefer that. Thank you.

Regards :confused:

Hi,
the link i posted here, was only answer "how to convert to asp.net from asp". It wasn't meant to adjust your display asp page problem with vs.net. Sorry if I wasn't be clear.

vs.net won't display asp pages at design view if your html contains data binding tags.

the following won't display...

<%
i = "Hello"
%>
<input type=text value=<%=i%>>


the following will display (although u won't see anything...)

<%
i = "Hello"
response.write(i)
%>


any valid html will be display, vs.net won't consider mixing html with asp-data binding tag as valid.

hope that helps.

Thank you. So is there any thing that can let me go into that design view.

I think if you want to stick with the legacy asp programming. vs.net may not be the best tool for you. You may consider using front-page or dreamweaver.
