my first ASP.Net page!

No I haven't gone over to the dark side but I needed to do some investigation on .net web pages, in particular to do with accessing sql databases. My first discovery is that you don't need Windows2003 for your web server - you can use xp/w2k with the .net framework installed (I thought .net only came with w2k3 but I was wrong).
I found WebMatrix which is a .aspnet gui builder and works pretty well too. You don't even need IIS installed and using the walkthrough it didn't take long to access data on a remote sql machine. Its not available on the internet so its not available as a demo.
unfortunately it doesnt work on my version of IIS - works with the included webserver but not IIS. If I use ie then it complains about unterminated strings, and firefox asks me what I want to do with the file!
Update According to Experts Exchange I needed to run aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable from the location that I installed .net into. However the installation of .net doesn't ask where you want to install this software (C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 in my case)
