I have purchased "ASP.NET Website Programming, VB.NET Edition" and I just cannot get the website to run. I have already fixed so many problems, but now i get an error that i have not seen in this forum, help would be greatly appreciated!:

The error occurred in:
http://localhost/ThePhileVB/Default.aspx

Error Message:
There is an error in XML document (7, 3).

Error Stack:
System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (7, 3). ---> System.Xml.XmlException: The data at the root level is invalid. Line 7, position 18.

You need to read the stack trace to determine what went wrong. This tells you a *LOT* about what happened.

It's obviously a problem with the syntax of an XML file, right? But how do you find out which one?

Read this line:
C:\wrox\ThePhileVB\WebModules\Polls\Polls.Configur ation\ModuleConfig.vb:line 38

Open that file and try to figure out which file it was trying to read. It's not hard.

Yes, thanks alot. I went to that piece of code and i still could not pin down the problem. I've had enough of this man, this sucks. This book is not for beginners, and it seems it's bug filled... or maybe i'm the problem too. Thanks anyway engler.
