  Enable .asp in simple VS2010 Website project

  Nov 11, 2010 03:56 PM|LINK

  Anyone know how I can enable .asp files in a simple VS2010 Website project?

  For example:

  1. Start VS2010
  2. Click "File/New Web Site..."
  3. Accept defaults
  4. Add an html file called "Test.asp"
  5. Attempt to open Test.asp (debug project with that file active) and you get the following error:  "This type of page is not served. ... is not server because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.asp' may be incorrect " <blah><blah><blah>

  SO, HOW DO I EXPLICITLY ALLOW IT? VS2010 is using the ASP.NET Development Server....

  TIA,

  Owen

  Hi there,

  AFAIK, the built-in web server does not support classic ASP pages.

  You could try creating a new web site targeting IIS instead.

  Cheers,

  I was afraid of that.

  Thanks.
