Hi!
I have your ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results book and have a question about chapter 4 the Suvey Engine. I can get the program to work locally on my machine with Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2005. But when I place the code on my ASP.net 2.0 web site I get all kinds of errors. I do have theSql Express database converted to SQl that is not the problem. The errors are for example:
1. In the default.aspx page references to the Master Pages can not be found.
2. The site map cannot be found.
It seems as if it wants all code to be within the Content folder.
I did move the master pages there but I still had problems when I moved the site map code into the Content Folder.

Hi autolib,
Great, you finally made it to the right forum.
But we still need a bit more information about your problem, like I described earlier.
Can you post the first 20 lines or so for the master page and the content pages? Also, can you describe the structure of your site? E.g. your folder structure and where the pages reside that you're having problems with.
This may be as simple as an incorrect MasterPageFile attribute, but it's impossible to tell without more information.
Cheers,
Imar

I took so long because I had to get the SQL files back on my hosting site. The error below is when you navigate to the default.aspx page.
Another error I have is how do I handle the ASPNETDB file for logins? Should I take it out and put it with SQL Database? Any utility you could recommend to transfer the file? I had to create the survey SQL files form cratch on the SQL server.
Thanks
Charlie

This is going the same route as our private e-mail conversation. It looks like you don't want help.... If you don't provide this information, how do you think we can help you?
Regarding SQL Server: it depends on the host. Quite often, they won't attach an existing .mdf file for you. Instead, you get access with the Query Analyzer or Management Studio. You can then script your existing database to SQL create scripts and execute them remotely. Alternatively, you can use DTS (SQL Server 2000) or Integration Services (SQL Server 2005) to copy structure and data between two instances.
Be aware this may be problematic if your host is using a different version of SQL Server (e.g. 2000)

The code you requested is below. I assume you had the code since it was part of the book you authored. I am not trying to give you a hard time so lighten up with the comments. I just want to know why the code will not execute properly. Thanks for taking the time to take a look. I have altered nothing but the Web.config for the connection string.

You said you moved folders and files around and suggested that you didn't store the files in the content folder. So maybe you have an incorrect reference to the master page??
MasterPageFile="../MasterPage.master
This means: one level up from the current folder. If the two files are in the same folder, this breaks.
You can also try this:
MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master

I had tried that before and you get the following error:

And is the error message correct? Do you have a folder called SurveyEngine that holds the master pages?
Maybe you browsed to the site like this:
http://localhost/SurveyEngine
and now, on the full domain it's something like:
http://www.SurveyEngine.com/
If that's the case you may need to change the way you reference your master pages and files.

Sigh. I am about to give up because I get tired of it if you're not helping me help you. I asked you a ton of questions, here and before, but either you don't understand what I am asking (and don't ask follow up questions), or you don't see the relevance of my questions.
Like I said earlier, I can't look in your head. I don't know your site, your server, and what changes you made to the server or the files. I don't know if and where you uploaded your files and I don't know if you did that correctly. I don't know how you configured your server. I don't know if SurveyEngine is a simple folder or a virtual folder in IIS. I don't know where you stored your MasterPages. All these items are relevant in trying to fix the problem. In short, I can only see and understand what you tell me.
I am only asking these questions so I understand your situation, may understand your problem and help you fix it. So, here we go again, one more time:
1. And is the error message correct? Do you have a folder called SurveyEngine that holds the master pages?
2. Are the master pages actually there in that folder at the remote server?
3. Also, can you describe the structure of your site? E.g. your folder structure and where the pages reside that you're having problems with.
As you can see the structure of the site is relevant. You are referencing files, so if they are in incorrect places, things will break. So, how about you list, one by one in a hierarchical manner, all the relevant folders and files in your site?
If you're sick of my questions and posts, try this:
1. Dump all your files in one folder like SurveyEngine.
2. Make sure you also dump the Master Pages in that same folder.
3. Change the content files so they reference the master page in the same folder, like this:
MasterPageFile="MasterPage.master"
If that doesn't work, there's something wrong with your server and you need to contact your system administrator and ask how they configured your system and the SurveyEngine folder.
Cheers,
Imar
