Difficulty with View in Browser

[sbrenier]

I am developing an ASP.NET form. I have a database connection on a remote web
server. When I attempt to view my page in a browser, an interactive screen
opens instead and provides me with a choice to Open the page or Save the page.
Why is this occurring?

Thanks.

You are previewing your .net page without having a web server first parse
it.

To preview aspx pages, you need a web server to serve them. So, install IIS
on your machine, and then navigate to the pages via:

[url]http://localhost/yourfolder/youraspxpage.aspx[/url]
