I downloaded the C# verion of the website for ASP.NET Website Programming and followed the instructions for loading the site. When I try to run the site I get the following error message in IE:

========= Begin Message ==================
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Wrox.ThePhile.Web.Controls.User.SiteHeader'.

Source Error:

I tried to compile C:\wrox\thePhile\Controls\SiteHeader.ascx.cs but received the following message from Anthecinus C# Editor:

What are some possible solutions that I need to check?

Thank you for your help!!

I am getting the picture here that it is virtually impossible to run ThePhile application without VS.NET!

its impossible to run the application WITH vs.net and framework 1.1

Hi Steve,

Please load the entire solution by opening the ThePhile.sln in VS.NET and then re-build the entire solution.

Once you rebuild the entire solution, the run the application in IE.

Thanks for replying Charul. I'm having a seriosly hard time getting the application to run with Vs.net 1.1/IE/XP SP1/SqlServer 2000.

I'm rebuilding the solution in Vs.net 1.1 and running the application but i keet getting errors. I really think the problem is related to the a parser error in SiteHeader. I have created a post located here http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8681 explaining the problem in more detail. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks

Thank you for your reply!!! Would it be possible to open the ThePhile.sln with ASP.NET Web Matrix (www.asp.net) or Dreamweaver MX or is only possible to open in VS.NET?

No, .sln files are Visual Studio .NET Solution files. So, you can "open" them in something else but it's just going to be useless text about the project config. They are only for VS.NET.

Keep in mind, however, that any .NET code can be compiled perfectly fine without Visual Studio, just using the tools in the .NET Framework SDK...but you're going to have to do some manual work that the solution/project files handle for you behind the scenes in VS.NET. That's what makes VS valuable...
