Hi, I'm having a problem with the Parameters.aspx file on p278 of chapter 8. I tried doing it by hand first, then the default downloaded version, and keep coming up with the error:

BC30456: 'SelectedValue' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList'.

it has a problem with this line in the Button1_Click subroutine:

DataGrid1.DataSource = GetProducts(lstCategory.SelectedValue)

any ideas on what's going on? do i need to import a different namespace or whatever to get it to recognize that? thanks for your help.

well, i got it to work on an actual web server, so probably something with web matrix itself? don't know, no real worries on this one but if anyone has any ideas on what to configure so that this works, it'd be greatly appreciated. :)

 Hi,
    I am having the same problem as well. I am using WebMatrix on Windows 2K prof. and I am getting the same problem Any help please

 Hi,
   Having .NET 1.0 previously installed on your PC might cause this problem, what you should do is uninstall 1.0 and the code will work. I did it and it worked for me. In the book, the first chapter, they mentioned that having 2 versions of .NET might cause some problems!!

Good Luck

hey thanks! that did it alright. just wondering, i just moved the v1.0.3705 folder out of the C:\Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\ folder and left the v1.1.4322. Is there a cleaner way to uninstall the earlier version?

 just go to Add/Remove program in Control Panel and remove the .NET v1.1 I don't think moving the folder will be a good idea unless you want to use the v.1.0 again

The new 2.0 framework is now equipped with a MMC snap in for ASP.NET, so that user can choose the version of framework they require for their websites.
