I literally just started *trying* to learn ASP.NET a few minutes ago. But I've already run into a problem, with the template code (provided by #Develop, but I think it's the same as VS anyway)

The problem is with this bit:
When I try to open "Default.aspx" in my web browser, it just pops up saying "Invalid character at line 1, col 2" which is that % symbol... but what does that mean? I've seen a few pages in the past, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be there?

Thanks in advance

It means there's a problem with that area. It could be the spacing of the items or that you have the sharp character.

Whatever it is, it doesn't like what in the Page code.

Well I just got rid of that whole block and now it works...

Does it serve any purpose?

EDIT:
The appearance works, but now the functionality doesn't.

I'm getting there, slowly but surely

Lol.

Yeah you need it for the functionality. Did you try to taking out the spacing? ASP.NET is a lot like VB.NET but also very different from it.

ASP.NET can be a little weird about spacing, I've found at least. You may need to try having it all one line instead of divided up like it was.

Even just this bit with the language gives the same error:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

That's just confused me even more, I've definitely seen that on other pages

Okay. I'm going to open up my asp.net and see what I get. Give me a few moments.

But you should be getting some kind of box coming up (like it does for VB) showing you the applicable statements(arguments?) to put in. Does it?

Try closing the tab and then reopening it.



Then you'll need to change to the CodeFile to a C# coding file. It'll need the .cs extension.

Otherwise you'll get an error about the coding language not being consistent.

Still nothing.
error on line 1 at column 2: StartTag: invalid element name
Same error~ (I've tried removing all elements, too~ still nothing)

((NOTE: I changed yours where it said .vb to .cs ))

EDIT: Even just putting <%@ %> gives the same error~

Are you really dying to code this C#? Because everytime I've changed things for the C# I just get more errors. Lol.

Error 1 'ASP.default_aspx.SupportAutoEvents': no suitable method found to override c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\website1\ae4449e3\d6ea81b4\App_Web_hnsvexyu.0.cs

Just for this bit of code.



You can do it, but it doesn't seem like anything will be precoded for you. Be careful!

Mind I'm no longer getting errors for the bit of code but these errors are cause by it. But now there's nothing wrong with the syntax in there. The syntax is correct.

LMAO~

Yeah, C#
Can't stand VB

I've never learned C#. My husband's getting a 24 hour learning program that has 24 hour long tutorials. I'm going to sit down with him and hopefully learn it.

Okay. Is there anything else that's giving you a problem. I don't know if yours has been solved yet. Has it?

Not at all. I've still got no idea what's causing it, either~ I even tried copy/pasting someone else's working code, and I still got the same error.
