Hi all,

Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this at. If not please direct me to the correct forum.

I am learning with Beginning C# (Kari Watson ISBN 1.861004.98.2) I am trying to do the example in case study #1 Web Site Poll. I am running Win XP Pro, Visual Studio.NET 1.0 Enterprise, Framework 1.1, MS Office is not installed, I do have all the Win Components for IIS installed.

I am having problems with the install of the frontpage extension and hopefully someone can help because this is causing errors with the execution of the sample. Under Admin tools/Computer Management/Services and Applications/Internet Information Services/Web Sites/Default Web Site, I have right clicked selected new Tasks then tried to click on "Open with FrontPage extension". Here the message reads "You need to install the FrontPage client software to open a web with FrontPage" appears.

Now I have read the previous post "Access to the path "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wrox\ThePhi" and all the related links. The syntax for reading the the xml file works fine enough "FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);", but I am receiving errors while click on "vote" button to cast a vote. All book codes seem correct. Also even though this syntax works, is this actually the correct/standard code "FileAccess.Read" for opening xml's or just a quick fix?

Sorry about the long question. Thank you all in advance for any and all help given.

Control panel, Add/Remove programs, click on Add/Remove Windows components, click on IIS, click on Details, check the box by Front Page extensions.

2 notes for you:
1) don't mess with the new folders you see that begin with underlines - these are used by the FP extensions
2) don't do this on a production computer, unless you go to the trouble of setting up Windows auth security for the FP extensions. Without added security, anyone can open projects on your computer.

Txs Englere. But I have already have the Window Components installed for IIS/Frontpage and still having the problems, hmmmmm.

Maybe you deleted the special folders used by FP?

Or maybe you have an NTFS permissions issue?

Or maybe the virtual dir isn't set as an application in IIS?

If you can't figure it out, try removing the FP extensions and re-installing them.
