Short diagnosis: a directory listing of .aspx and .cs files with a "page cannot found" when clicking default.aspx means IIS is serving files instead of passing .aspx requests to ASP.NET. Typical causes are ASP.NET not registered/allowed in IIS, the folder not configured as an application/virtual directory, or a deployment that left source files exposed instead of deploying compiled output.

Quick checklist (Server 2003 / IIS 6):

  • Verify the ASP.NET Web Service Extension is allowed in IIS Manager (otherwise .aspx won’t be executed).
  • Re-register ASP.NET for the installed Framework version (run from an elevated command prompt). Example:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
  • Convert the site folder to an IIS application (right‑click the virtual directory → Properties → Create).
  • Confirm handler mapping: .aspx must point to the aspnet_isapi.dll for the matching Framework folder.
  • Ensure Default Document includes default.aspx and disable Directory Browsing (directory listing is a security risk).

Deployment and troubleshooting notes:

  • Seeing .cs files on the server indicates a wrong deployment. Do not leave source files on the site. For Web Application projects the compiled DLL must be in the bin folder; for Web Site projects use Publish/Precompile.
  • Check NTFS permissions so the IIS user (IUSR or the app pool identity) has Read + Execute on the site folder.
  • Inspect IIS logs (typically under %SystemRoot%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC*) and Event Viewer for the exact 404 or ASP.NET error code; that narrows the problem quickly.
  • To rule out page code issues, deploy a tiny test page that only writes text and confirm it executes; if the test runs, the problem is in the application code or web.config.

This expands on ’s virtual-directory point and ’s IIS advice, and addresses ’s note about server-side code by giving steps to distinguish handler/mapping/deployment issues from runtime code faults.

Hey you have to configure it in IIS properly.

I think this will help you.

>asp.net+page cannot found

There may be several reasons:

1. Your page might contains some code that doesn't terminate the page execution at server side. (Possibly a recursive method or something like that)

2. IIS or development server not started yet!

configure the IIS properly,check the code correcly because some of the unwanted codes does not execute the page properly.
