It sounds like your IIS is not properly mapped to Visual Studio .NET. Try
repairing
the mapping between IIS and Visual Studio .NET.
Knowledge Base article #306005, which says in part:
"To repair IIS mappings for ASP.NET, you can run the Aspnet_regiis.exe
utility. To do so, follow these steps:
1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. Type cmd, and then click OK.
3.. At the command prompt, type
"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\aspnet_regiis.exe" -i, and then
click OK. In this path, <version> represents the version number of the .NET
Framework that you installed on your server. You must replace this
placeholder with the actual version number when you type the command.

Note To repair IIS mappings for ASP.NET, you must correctly register the
Aspnet_isapi.dll. To do so, follow these steps:
1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. Type regsvr32
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\aspnet_isapi.dll, and then click
OK. Regsvr32 returns the results of the registration. "
Hope this helps.
