Hi,
I'm trying to build a very simple site in C#/.Net as a front-end to a database but failing at the first hurdle and can't seem to find any help online.
I've done fairly extensive classic ASP/VB script many, many years ago, but this is a first attempt to do anything connecting to a db in c#.
What happens is, as soon as I try to declare the required namespaces, the page causes an error.
So, my .aspx page looks like this:
<%@ Page Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="100char.aspx.cs" Debug="true" %>
<%
using System;
%>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>test c# page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This page doesn't work.</p>
</body>
</html>
And the error is:
CS1003: Syntax error, '(' expected
If I take out the 'using System;' and put in some other standard code like 'string strWhatever="something"' the page works as expected.
I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious and basic, or maybe something that needs to be configured in IIS, but any help appreciated. Thank you.
