I am learning VB .NET with a book which has its source code downloadable
from a web site.

How do I get an *.aspx file into a VS New Project?  The specific problem I
have is the controls do not render when I build, and a ERROR message box  is
thrown asking if I want to debug.

Do you have some insight?

ThanX!!!!!
(The book is Sams Publishing --- "Teach Yourself Visual Basic .NET Web
Programming in 21 Days")

Are you sure you created a 'ASP.NET Web Application' when you created the
project (it's what you select in the right-hand window when creating a
project), and not a regular (VB.NET) application?  I believe you have to do
the former or .aspx files don't work (you can't put an .aspx file in a
regular VB.NET application).

I usually forget that when I make many different types of projects or work
on a new machine, as it doesn't default unless it's the last type you
created.
