ASPX files are not common but you will run into them if you download the source code for an app, you may get an APSX file or two in it. This file type may be uncommon for most end users but it is not difficult to open this file type.
ASPX file
An ASPX file is created by a server running ASP.Net. This is basically a web page but instead of using the HTML language. It is processed and translated into HTML when the file is read or loaded by a website in a modern web browser.
As long as an ASPX file is opened, you will find it very easy to do. You do not need to set up a server, or install complex apps to do the job.
1. Open ASPX Files – Web Browser
The ASPX file is basically the document. The only reason you can’t open is because of the extension. Unlike an HTML file that you can open with a text editor, you need a PDF browser to open ASPX files.
- Open File Explorer.
- Go to See the tab.
- Enable the ‘Show extensions’ option.
- Navigate to the ASPX file and select it.
- Tap on the July F2.
- Change the ASPX to PDF.
- Confirm that you want to change the format.
- Right click on the file and open it in a modern browser like Chrome.
2. Use web development tools
If you convert an ASPX file to PDF and open it in a browser the file will not display properly, you can use a web development tool instead. There are many web development tools you can use but if you are looking for a free, easy to install and easy to set up tool, we strongly recommend using Notepad ++.
