Does someone have a clue what is wrong with my explores or how to reset it.
I am getting the following error:

I have already correct the spelling mistake which was:

DrakGrey instead of DarkGrey

But still when i request the Defaul.aspx in explorer it give the same page.

i have already refresed it many time and even restarted the application as well.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi there,

You could delete all the cookies in your browser (through the Options dialog, or by using the Developer Toolbar (when using IE; press F12)).

Alternatively, you can wrap the code in a try/catch block. The book contains a forward reference to chapter 18 that digs deeper into error handling. For now, you could try changing the line that set the Theme to something like this in the BasePage:

Code:

C#
try
{
  Page.Theme = preferredTheme.Value;
}
catch 
{
  Request.Cookies.Remove("PreferredTheme");
}
 
VB
Try
  Page.Theme = preferredTheme.Value
Catch
  Request.Cookies.Remove("PreferredTheme")
End Try

This code tries to set the Theme, and then deletes the cookie when that fails, as it's likely that the cookie contains a value without a matching theme.

Hope this helps,

Imar
