Really annoying simple errors I cannot get past.Help Please!

leemark2k3 · February 25th, 2010, 03:47 PM

I recently purchased 'Beginning ASP.net 3.5 in c# as I had read good things about it. I am new to programming and Im on chapter 3 and continue to get the same errors every time I try to build:

Warning 1 File 'Default.aspx.cs' was not found. C:\BegASPNET\Site\Default.aspx 1 58 C:\BegASPNET\Site\

Warning 2 File 'CodeBehind.aspx.cs' was not found. C:\BegASPNET\Site\Demos\CodeBehind.aspx 1 57 C:\BegASPNET\Site\

Error 3 The file '/Site/Demos/CodeBehind.aspx.cs' does not exist. C:\BegASPNET\Site\Demos\CodeBehind.aspx 1

Error 4 The file '/Site/Demos/TableDemo.aspx.cs' does not exist. C:\BegASPNET\Site\Demos\TableDemo.aspx 1

Error 5 The file '/Site/Demos/CssDemo.aspx.cs' does not exist. C:\BegASPNET\Site\Demos\CssDemo.aspx 1

I dont understand why I continue to get these errors, I have followed the chapter and book step by step. I have even now tried to use all the source code available from this site and copied that over my code as i tHought there may be something wrong with how ive entered the code but still exactly the same errors. Can someone please help me get past this. Im sure its something simple but Its stopping me getting on with the chapter and book!!! HELP PLEASE.

Hi Lee,

You've come to the right place for help ;-)

But in order to help you, I need a bit more information. How are you opening the web site in Visual Web Developer (e.g. when you choose File | Open Web Site, what folder do you browse to and open? Are you sure you created a Web Site Project and not a Web Application Project? And can you post the code and its Code Behind of the CodeBehind.aspx page? And finally, how did you create this page? Can you describe the steps?

Cheers,

Imar

BTW, I just looked at your older posts, and it seems we were having a similar discussion in October last year. You posted a similar question and I replied with similar questions. I take it that at that time you didn't resolve the problem?

I am going FILE/OPEN PROJECT and browsing to my website from there. Yes I had this exact problem I never got past in October. I had a study break for the past 4 months due and am getting back to it but cant get past the same problem again despite following the chapter carefully.

Heres the codebehind code:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="CodeBehind.aspx.cs" Inherits="Demos_CodeBehind" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
  <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <form id="form1" runat="server">
  <div>
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
  </div>
  </form>
</body>
</html>

and heres the default page code:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
  <title>Untitled Page</title>
  <link href="Styles/Styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
  <form id="form1" runat="server">
  <div id="PageWrapper">
    <div id="Header">Header Goes Here</div>
    <div id="MenuWrapper">Menu Goes Here</div>
    <div id="MainContent">
    <h1>Hi there visitor and welcome to Planet Wrox</h1>
    <p class="Introduction">
      We're glad you are paying a visit to <a href="http://www.PlanetWrox.com">
      www.PlanetWrox.com</a>, the coolest music community site on the Internet.
    </p>
    <p class="Introduction">
      Feel free to have a <a href="Default.aspx">look around</a>; as there are lots of interesting <b>reviews and concert
      pictures</b> to be found here.
    </p>
    </div>
    <div id="Sidebar">Sidebar Goes Here</div>
    <div id="Footer">Footer Goes Here</div>
  </div>
  </form>
</body>
</html>

I followed the book carefully as it said and started getting these errors throughout chapter 3 and im not sure why. Nothing will compile without these 5 simple errors.

In that case, you chose the wrong project type and are not following the book's steps exactly. Take another look at page 37, step 2. It says:

Choose File | New Web Site

and not File | New Project.

There's a big difference between the two. Refer to page 34 for a discussion between a Web Site Project and a Web Application Project. You should probably start over in Chapter 2, or use the downloadable source from that chapter as the starting point for chapter 3.

If this doesn't fix the issue. can you be more specific and provide some detailed answers to my earlier questions? "I am going FILE/OPEN PROJECT and browsing to my website from there." is not that specific as "my website from there" could mean anything. In VWD, there's quite a difference in behavior if you open your website as C:\BegASPNET and then browse to http://localhost:12345/Site or open it from C:\BegASPNET\Site and browse to it as http://localhost:12345. (The latter is correct.) The more specific details you provide, the better I can help you out.

Cheers,
