I bought Professional C# 2rd on Amazon.com.
Following the instructions, I downloaded samples code. But when I opened a sample project of Chapter 14(ASP.NET Pages), Microsoft Development Environment said:
The project 'PCSWebApp1.csproj' must be convert to the current project format. After it has been convert, you will not be able to edit this project in previous versions of Visual Studio.
I clicked Yes. But when run this project, MDE said:
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. The project is not configured to be debugged.

Please tell me how to run this porojects. Thanks.
(I'm running on Windows Server2003 Enterprise, MDE2003 version 7.1.3088, Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 version 1.1.4322)

Hi there,

I think the book was written for the .NET Framework 1.0. This means the projects in the code download will work with Visual Studio 2002. You're using VS .NET 2003 so it offers to convert the "old" 2002 project to the 2003 format.
Usually, this will work fine without too much trouble. Make sure you have a copy of the old project though, because not every 1.0 project will run fine on the 1.1 framework.

For the debugging issue, check out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rvererrors.asp

Cheers,

Imar

Everyone is unique, except for me.

There are not .sln files in the App2 and App3 folders so I assume you were trying to run the first application iteration.

What worked for me was to follow the directions in the readme file in the Chapter 14 'root' folder to copy the three application folders to my Inetpub\wwwroot.

Convert the Solution and Project(s) as 'suggested'. That ran fine for me using version 1.1.4322 of the Framework.

What the readme file does not say is to create a virtual directory using Internet Information Services (IIS). Name it PCSWebApp1 for the first project and point it to the PCSWebApp1 folder.

Make sure the build configuration ( Build/Configuration Manager/Active Build Configuration) is set to 'Debug' and rebuild the Solution.

After that the first app ran fine.
