'===========================================
Apologies First:
	This has also been posted in Asp Web Matrix but
	it seems to have very little traffic and I am stuck.
	Sorry.
'===========================================

Absolutely love Asp Web Matrix,

I am new to asp and programming in general and realise that .NET is the way
to go for me at this stage.

I really appreciate this affordable IDE as a training tool as well as a
development tool.

But to my problem,
I have begun the sample web application from Inside ASP.NET Web Matrix to
the point where I must compile the DataLayer class.
The command line prompt is spitting out errors left right and center on
compilation.

Apparently i need to add:
	System.ComponentModel.MarshalByValueComponent
to my project.

and many errors re:
	Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected
plus many others, but one step at a time!

I have checked the syntax over and over with little or nothing to change.

Steps to date:
*	Installed MDAC 2.7
*	installed .NET Framework
*	installed Web Matrix
*	created virtual directory to point to project folder
*	created .xml as per manual
*	created .vb as per manual
*	created .bat as per manual
*	created \bin folder in project folder
*	ran .bat from project folder

then the errors occured and the class file was not created.

My system is Win2000 VS 6 installed previously. 
I have successfully run an aspx image upload page for SQL using Web Matrix
which ran well.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative.

Thanks for any consideration.

Rod.
