Re: open asp.net page from desktop

If by open you mean to have it open in a browser with the output on the
screen then the answer is no. The reason is that the browser does not
know how to handle the file, it's not standard markup. To have the
output show as youi intend it to, it must be parsed and/or executed by
the .NET and then the output is rendered and sent to the browser.

You need to either run through IIS, or another application that will
handle this for you (another server like IIS is the web server included
with the visual web designer/web matrix.)

Hope this helps,
