How To Make an ASPX Web Page Executable
The "ASPX" file extension is an Internet Information Services (IIS) extension used to run websites. IIS requires a mapping to the .NET DLL file used to execute the file. If you do not have this extension mapped to the .NET DLL, a Windows server prompts the user to download the file. You can set up IIS to execute the ASPX file extension using the configuration manager.
