Right ive just been handed a new project that my manager wants writing in ASP.net

The problem is is that Ive never used .net before and have no idea what is going on properly.

My problem is this -

following the instructions in a book I'm trying to get my "hello world" web form to run. All it is is a webform with a button on it that when you click it it displays hello world on the browser.

Simple ? well I would of thought so but when I run my web form the button is not appearing, if I put a label on it, that appears but no button ???

I'm not getting an error message or anything and the buttons visibility is set to true, this book is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Mind you it is Microsoft Press.

Any idea's ?

Thanks in advance

Steve.

Here's the code below. Im working on version 1.0

I've followed the book to the letter but its just not working.

Thanks

Firstly, version 1.1 is out and better. Possibly not the cause of you problem, but there is a chance.

I cant say I have coded in this way before, but here is a way that works for me:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Label1.text = "Hello World!"
TextBox1.text = "Hello World!"
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<p>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">...</asp:Label>
 <br />
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server">...</asp:TextBox>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Button id="Button1" onclick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Start"></asp:Button>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

That definately works, and is much easier to understand...
