How to run .aspx file for a beginner - html

All,
I have very limited knowledge of .aspx and ultimately what I want to do is exactly this:
http://www.webonweboff.com/widgets/ajax/ajax_linked_selection.aspx
I appreciate the code is given in the link above, but I am only familiar with HTML and Javascript so when it starts to tell me .aspx and .cs code I get a little lost. Have done my homework and I guess i need to install something to run these programs. Naively, I only have notepad++ at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Joe

Your best bet is to go to http://www.asp.net/downloads and click the big green Install Now button. This will use the Microsoft Web Installer to download everything you need to get started with ASP.NET development (including Visual Studio Express which will take the place of notepad++!).

Try installing visual web developer and create ASP.NET wesite in C#. You should be able to run these files.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/
Also try going through these tutorials
http://www.asp.net/web-forms

ASPX is like CGI programming. Yes you need to install the ASP.NET developer studio in order to deploy your web application. It will then configure a default webserver on your local host where you can start playing with the code samples.

Work with HTML coder

I am a rails backend developer and I am now working in a team with an HTML coder and I have some problems with information exchange.
I want him to generate all the HTML templates (haml, erb, whatever) and css files. But he has actually no clue on how to install ruby (and rails).
So, we are working now in this ugly workcycle when he puts all html's and css's in public, test them, and then I (myself) move them to correct place.
Is there a tool (for HTML codes) that mimics Rails rendering part so he will run this tool, which must be easy, and when the server starts, he can put all the templates to app/ and test them?
I see this as a small easy installable subset of rails, that only deal with page rendering.
If your coder still doesn't know how to install ruby or how to configure stuff for works , then I can say this is quite problematic . You either can try any cloud based IDE . Or , tools like git to get only raw stuff.
But , you also can look for someone who in minimum way will try to make the whole process possible by learning and installing ruby in their pc .
I had a similiar problem where a copywriter needed to play with the html and we ended up using Cloud9.
Cloud9 is a collaborative IDE in the cloud, IMHO It's pretty decent for small scale projects and can really get the job done.
I simply installed rails once and ran a local dev server and she did all the modifications and watced the preview.
Another option is to create a vagrant environment and preisntall rails there. This means the HTML coder would have to install a VM on his machine and run the vagrant there.

Run .EXE From HTML And JS?

I made an project in Visual Studio Express using C#, i compilled it into an .exe, it run normally. is there any way to run my app from HTML, i'm making an website for me.
EDIT: i think is better to make an download and user install the app. thanks for helping :D
No.
You could create a link to the file, and allow people to download it. Their browser may give them a choice to run it immediately or not.
The only I know of to this would be to run an Ajax request and have a server side file execute the file. You can't do it with straight javascript, but if you're willing to use a language like PHP you'll be able to execute a file on your server "using" javascript.

Display HTML page using Websharper without Visual Studio

I'm doing a simple demo that involves creating an HTML page using F# and Websharper. Using the samples from the Websharper website I'm able to run a simple Hello World page using sitelets when I hit Debug on Visual Studio. I'm wondering if there's a way to package this in such a way that I don't have to open the file in Visual Studio and hit debug to display the content? I've tried using msbuild from the command line to build the solution but I've had no luck opening the browser that way. What I need is a way to compile the code and display the HTML page without having to open up VS. Also I'm using Web Applications (Sitelets) template for VS for Web Express 2012. Thanks
The "Web Applications (Sitelets)" template does not actually generate HTML files, it generates a DLL that can be run by an ASP.NET runtime. Therefore, depending on your situation:
If you simply want to generate HTML files, without any server-side computation, then you should use the HTML Application template instead. It compiles the sitelet into a set of .html files.
If you need a server runtime, your safest bet is to install ASP.NET for IIS. You can find it in "Turn Windows features on or off", somewhere in the control panel. Then, in IIS Manager, add a Website and point it to the Web folder of your application.

Monodevelop, where can I download it?

I was trying to download Monodevelop for mac, but on the official page there is everything but a compiled and downloadable file.
I've read around other threads on different forum and apparently it is required to compile the source code. Is this really the case?
What other alternative may exist for Mac? I just need to dig into some source code, using references and jumping from code portion to others without using the search filter.
Thanks.
If you want a binary for Mac, you need to go to Xamarin's homepage and simply download Xamarin Studio.
Xamarin Studio is basically the same thing as MonoDevelop, the only difference is a bit of branding and the inclusion of 3 plugins for their proprietary development offerings, which you can ignore if you're not interested in developing for the mobile platform.

Compiling an external website to .chm using wget

There's a website, in particular http://thisquantumworld.com
It is a text-only site with inter-related links. I want to have the content on this site as reading material. I can(and I did) download the site as html using wget.
But, it would be good to have it as a .chm file. In that case, it will be easily redistributable too.
Can anyone suggest a way to download a website as .chm(maybe using wget)? I have no experience with .chm files and have no idea how do they work.
For such purpose (convert web-site to chm), I use Windows freeware tool Web2Chm.
It works perfectly, and I almost sure - it will work under the Wine in Linux too.
If you want to use only wget, I think your task can be solved using python scripts.
