I have started learning asp.net. I went through basics and now i am started to build small application. I am using VS 2012 and created Empty Web Application Project with VB.
I can see web.config created automatically and following are the line written in it :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
For more information on how to configure your ASP.NET application, please visit

-->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
I created Default.aspx file and wrote following lines of code :
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" %>
<%
HelloWorldLabel.Text = "Hello, world!";
%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label runat="server" id="HelloWorldLabel"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I am running this application on browsers, I am getting following error that page :
Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: BC30037: Character is not valid.
Source Error:

Line 5: %>
Line 6:
Source File: c:\users\anjum.banaras\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\Students\Students\Default.aspx Line: 4
Can any one help me on this ? I am just beginner on asp.net. Your help can save lots of my time.
Thanking you in advance !!

You've set the programming language of the page to VB (Visual Basic), but the line it is complaining about is written in C# syntax. Either change the line to be valid VB code:
HelloWorldLabel.Text = "Hello, world!"
(I think that removing the ; is all that's needed, but I never code VB so I'm not sure)
or change the page language to C#:
<%@ Page Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" %>
