I tried to implement the Wrox File Share from chapter 2, following the "Local Developer Installation" by opening Visual Studio 2008, starting a New Web Site, then copying in the files from the CD. I used the code from the Modifications folder. Then I modified the web.config as instructed in the book.

When I ranthe web app, I was greeted with a blank screen. This is reflecting the empty Default.aspx which is generated when a New web site is started in Visual Studio. There is not a Default.aspx file nor a Default.aspx.vb file included with the code I copied from the CD. I checked the code in the Source folder and also downloaded the code from this web site to locate copies of the missing files, but did not find them anywhere.

In absence of these files, I typed in the code from the book for the Page_Preinit into the empty Default.aspx.vb. There was no code indicated in the book showing what is supposed to be in the Default.aspx file

Where can I find the code which belongs in the Default.aspx file and the Default.aspx.vb file?

Hi there,

AFAIK, there is no Default.aspx. You should browse to /ContentFiles instead if I am not mistaken...

Cheers,

Imar
