New to ASP.NET, IE can't find page

[Lars Zeb]

I've been programming windows app for a while, but never ASP.NET.

In VS2008, I've setup a very simple project containing a single page
with a textbox, label and button. When I start the program without
debugging, IE is launched and says, 'Internet Explorer cannot display
the webpage".

The URL which VS2008 created is http://localhost:1153/website/Default.aspx.
On the property page of the project on the Start Options page, I have
checked the NTLM Authentication checkbox.

I do not have IIS installed, but was relying on the integrated web
server. What am I missing?

TIA, Lars

Mark,

The page is Default.aspx. The class name for the codebehind is
_Default.

Follow rule #1 for beginners in Web applications

#1. Make sure you've unchecked "Friendly Errors" in IE (Menu
Tool/Option/Advance tab somewhere in the beginning.)

then you might start seeing real error

Why do you want to check the NTLM Authentication checkbox ?

NTLM is used as the authentication protocol for transactions between
two computers where one or both computers are running Windows NT 4.0 or earlier.

Uncheck that box...and post back the results.

George,

I unchecked "Show friendly HTTP error messages" on the Advanced tab of
the Internet Options in the Browsing section, but the result was the
same.

Juan, I unchecked the NTLM checkbox - again the result is the same:
'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

In playing with the environment a little more, I noticed that the
system had an ASP.NET Development Server icon in it. When I right-
clicked and selected "Open in Browser", my webapge did appear!

I suppose I can live with this, but it doesn't seem like it should
fail when launched from VS2008 but be able to be launched from the
system tray.
