Can you debug and run ASP.net and classic ASP on IIS7 using VWD08 express?

Question

User1938146372 posted

I'm trying the above - Visual Web Developer 2008 express edition with SQL Server 2005 express using VB code behind on ASP.net 3.5 framework.

I need to incorporate and amend some externally supplied classic asp pages, so switched to local IIS7 for compilation/run. I can run these pages, but am unable to amend them and have the changes reflected in what I see.

Is this possible with this setup? Is there a configuration setup that I may need? Has anyone successfully done the above before?

Thanks for the reply. In the end the code and settings were getting so far from where I started I'd never have been able to recreate them on production so went back to basic VWD and converted the asp code to .net - much easier to understand and support in future hopefully!
