I am a newbie when it comes to IIS 7 and i have gotten to the point that i can post html pages on the server and then see them from my browser. Now I am trying to do the same for an asp.net(aspx.vb) project. So i downloaded VS and i built a simple page and viewed it from my browser(debugging from VS), but when i took the folder(named WebApplication1) from VS and put it in the wwwroot directory of IIS (shown below)
i get an error
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

. I read up on this problem and i think it has something to do with a virtual directory, or web.confib(that's were i got confused).
so i have three questions:
1.is this a virtual directory problem or a configuration problem?
2.what is a good website for newbies for learning these basic issues?
3. i read on a blog that using a book for these issues are is outdated, is that true? If not what is a good book for learning IIS 7?
