Hi,

is it possible that this version is not supported on web developer express 2008?

tnx

koen

Hello. I am the Technical Editor on this title and have been testing the code with Visual Studio 2008 Pro without much problem. What issue(s) are you having with the preview?

Thanks.

Hi Doug,

I just opened the solution file in the MVC folder.
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition (so not the Pro)
I get an error on the database.dbp file indicating that this project type is not supported by this version of the application

koen

Ya thats the database project. What you can do, instead of trying to open the site via the solution file is just go to File --> Open Website and select the TheBeerHouse folder as the website folder.

Let me know if this works for you.

hth.

Hi Doug,

I just opened the website using express. However, when I hit F5, I get this error :

Error 1 Could not load type 'TheBeerHouse.GlobalApplication'. C:\TheBeerHouse_MVC\TheBeerHouse\Global.asax 1

is this a seperate build ?

koen

I am trying to get this resolved I will let you know what I come up with.

Ok I spoke with one of the authors so try this.

Navigate to the 'TheBeerHouse' directory (Make sure you are in the MVC folder!) inside you will find a project file named 'TheBeerHouse.csproj' double click that and it should open the website for you.

hth.

Hi Doug

First of all happy 2009 :)

thanks for the info.
I can now open the project and start it by hitting F5.
I do get this error.

I tried Admin and 1.admin.1 to no avail. Anybody can help?

Thanks,

Jiang

If memory serves me (I am not at my dev machine right now) there was not an account explicitly called 'Admin' in the users table. In any event, the way to circumvent this would be to signup as a user for TBH then go into the database and add yourself to the Admin role.

Pretty simple really =]

hth.
