Ok, I know this book is not supposed to hold your hand to cross the street. But I was doing the chapter 2 dry run, in a section it asks to remove the "MasterPageFile" directive from the Default.aspx page. But by doing that it will not run the site, I have to leave the MasterPageFile on the page, and forget using the 'web.config' setting since it doesn't work.

This is an observation , not asking for baby steps. That the portion is not correct.

I had the same problem, at Chapter 2 as well.

The build does succeed in my app if you remove the master page directive but in the aspx page code behind file VS2005 complains with a number of red underlines - Validation(xhtml 1.0 transitional):this name contains uppercase letters, which is not allowed. Leaving in the master page directive removes the complaints.

Hi There,

Same thing for me, removing the "MasterPageFile" just didn't work, so this is what it looks like now (Chapter-2 in progress..),

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" MasterPageFile="Template.master"
CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" Title="The Beer House" %>


But I cannot view/run in browser, keep on getting the following error:

:\Projects\Web\TheBeerHouse\App_Code\BasePage.cs Line: 5

Code on Line 5:

Line 5: protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)

It doesn't like the EventArgs e for some reason.

I'm using VWD'05 and I've hand written, double and sometimes triple checked all line-codes, any ideas?

Cheers

Trying to make way...
ASPX, DB, XLS

Try this...
MasterPageFile="~/Template.master"

I had the same problem and I found the answer at:

It seems this is not a problem with code or something like this, but it is a limitation of VS2005
