Development Language of Choice & IIS Problems

[VisualDeveloper]

Hi,

 

What is the ideal language to use for windows & web development using Visual Studio .NET and the .NET framework?

 

Which of the languages provides good power and flexibility to use all the available features of the .NET framework (Web Services, SOAP, ASP.NET, ADO.NET)?

 

Also, I am currently working on a web project for someone using standard Active Server Pages (ASP 3.0) with VBScript & ADO.

 

I am running Windows XP Professional and IIS 5.0 and I have created the required virtual directory named CueCoach linking to "C:\Inetpub\CueCoach", but whenever I visit "http://localhost/CueCoach", IIS 5.0 reports back saying I am not allowed to view the page requested with the creditals provided.

 

My web project was working correctly when I was using Windows 2000 Professional and Personal Web Server (PWS).

 

Please help...

 

Thanks

I have used both C# and VB.NET for windows & web development, they're both packed with power. It's your choice.

 

Check out the Security settings for CueCoach directory.

Thanks for your help Robby.

 

I found the problem to be with my default home page. My home page was named Index.asp, but IIS was currently configured to only accept Default.asp, Default.Htm, IISStart.asp etc.

 

So I simply modified the default document list to include the file title Index.asp as a possible default page and now my site is up and running again.

 

Cheers,
