Hello!

I am in the Page 160 area and when I run this as in Line 10 on 161, I get an error with the BLUE THEME in the themeDefault.aspx file..it says:

Error 1 Invalid theme or stylesheet theme value. C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\chapter05\themeDefault.aspx 1 90 C:\...\chapter05
It is typed just like in the books..suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
         The error indicates that it's looking in the wrong place for your themeDefault.aspx page. It should be looking in C:\BegASPNet2\Chapter05\themeDefault.aspx. Can you confirm a couple things for me please?

1) Where your copy of themeDefault.aspx is located on your hard drive?
2) What you put in for the @Page directive for themeDefault.aspx (which is where it tells it took for the theme)?
3) Where your copy of themedmaster.master is located on your hard drive?

The other day I managed to break a site I was working on by accidentally getting ./ mixed up with ../ ! My guess is something similar is happening here, although there's probably a chance it's going to turn out to be something way more complex. I need to confirm that it isn't something simple first, before we start digging deeper.
