Answer 1

The code between <% %> is server-side code and cannot be downloaded directly. The web server simply won't pass it--so what you want is not even possible.

When viewing in a browser, you can "View Source" and save this as HTML, but again, any server-side code will not be available.

Answer 2

Are you viweing this web page from your local machine? It sounds like you're downloading the ASPX page (which would be allowed if you were just specifying a directory path), instead of rendering it.

Check your IIS settings and make sure that:

• the starting point for your web app is configured
• that script execution is enabled
• that it is the correct ASP.NET version.

Then navigate to the webpage (localhost:theportnumber), right click, and download the rendered html.
