Greetings.
I'm new in VS2005 , having P4 , 512 MB on XP SP2. Since last couple of days I'm facing problem as;

Up on selecting Web Site -> Web Site configuration , I'm getting " Unable to run the version of this runtime of this application " message. After clicking OK , I'm getting another message as "Unable to connect to Visual Studio's Local Host server".

I can see the result using IIS not thru CASSINI becoz of this. I'm now not in a position to access Security configuration ( Asp.NetWebAdminFiles) thru application as well as database application (Gives me database locked message).

Pl. help / Guide me at the earliest.

Thanks

This is just a guess, but make sure IIS has the application configured as an ASP.NET 2.X application, and not a 1.X. In IIS expand the list of websites, right-click on your site, click Properties, click on the ASP.NET tab and make sure ASP.NET Version is set to 2.X (where X is multi-digit number that begins with a 0).

If that doesn't work, create a new website in Visual Studio 2005, this time select File System for the Location field. Copy your files into this new folder and add them using Website->Add Existing Item (don't replace the web.config file just yet, as that could be where your problem is). Try running the new site. If it works, try replacing the web.config with the old one, saving a backup of the new one first. If it still works, you're done. If not, then the problem is somewhere in the web.config file, and you need to go through it line by line to find the problem.

Hope that helps.

Dear Mr. Aaron,

Thanks for reply. In fact If I reinstall/repair the VS2005 Cassini starts working till the next Boot of a machine.

My IIS is working , but for database application it is showing me the "CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file F:\DataBase\GujjuUnited.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.".
This has forced me out of the ASP .Net 2.0 and I have started loosing the faith on it.

Pl. guide/help
