One of my clients has run into some problems with my ASP.NET app.
Some background information:
- Clients PC is not connected to the internet (it is not connected to enything except a power supply)
- Client is running XP Pro and has IIS installed
- An ASP.NET application is installed in /inetpub/wwwwroot which reads and displays information from a table on the local computer.
- The ASP.NET app is a very simple app that cycles between displaying several regular HTML pages and some ASPX pages
- The app is not intended to be navigated like a webpage but displayed on a TV monitor only for viewing
The problem encountered is that the dynamic pages (ASPX) are not updated. The information in the table is changed but displayed information remains unchanged.
I had the client delete all temp internet files (cashe) and select the option to check for new content every visit of the page. This still did not help.
After he deleted temp internet files and tried loading the app (localhost\theApp\index.aspx) he was presented with a messagebox:
The Web page you requested is not available offline. To view this page, click Connect.
Why does this message come up if he is trying to run localhost?
Is the fact that he is not connected to the internet the problem?
Can anyone see anything wrong?
