Sorry, this is a newbie issue.

I've worked up to chapter 15 and my code works fine.

However, I would like to see what the final site looks like. I have downloaded the source code from Wrox. How do I run the code for Chapter 19? I tried creating a new Web Application project in Visual Studio 2010. I copied and pasted the files from the Chapter 19 folder into my Visual Studio project (overwriting existing folders/files), but when I try to view Default.aspx in the browser I get the following kinds of errors:

Error 9 The type or namespace name 'BasePage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Fei\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\WebApplication1\WebApplication1\Logi n.aspx.cs 8 30 WebApplication1Error 8
The type or namespace name 'PlanetWroxModel' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Fei\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\WebApplication1\WebApplication1\Revi ews\Default.aspx.cs 7 7 WebApplication1

Why would these errors appeared when I had copied and pasted the source code into my project?

What do I need to do to run the Wrox source code?

Judging by the error message, it looks like you created a Web Application (File | New Project) instead of a web site (File | New Website).

Chapter 1 discusses the differences in detail, while the intro shows you how to open the source code.

Hope this helps,

Imar
