Creating ASP.NET Applications in Visual Studio .NET 2003

When using Visual Studio .NET, select ASP.NET Web Application from the New Project dialog (shown in Figure 1-5), and this creates the named web site and creates some default pages.

You can then use View Code (or the more familiar double-click on a control) to see the code for the web page you are creating.
