When using Visual Studio 2003 (,NET Framework 1.1) and you have create
a new ASP.NET web application. when you try to run the debugger you get
the error below.
Problem:
Solution:
Make sure the application is in a virtual folder. You must add an application
to the folder which will ensure the folder is a virtual folder.
1. Open the IIS Management Console: One ways is to right mouse click
on 'My Computer' and click manage.
2. When you have opened the Computer Management console. Right mouse
click on the folder where you created your .NET web application.
3. Create an application name. this will then make the folder a
virtual folder.
4. You may also find that this problem
can occur if your web application web.config file is set to not allow debug.
To set debug mode for an ASP.NET application,
you must edit the application's Web.config configuration file. Usually,
the Web.config for your ASP.NET application is located at the same URL
location as your application. If your ASP.NET application is at www.microsoft.com/aaa/bbb,
the Web.config for the application would normally be www.microsoft.com/aaa/bbb/Web.config.
The Web.config is an XML format file. You
can edit the file using any standard text editor or XML parser. You cannot
access the file remotely using a Web browser, though. For security reasons,
ASP.NET configures Microsoft IIS to prevent direct browser access to Web.config
files. If you attempt to access a configuration file using a browser, you
will get HTTP access error 403 (forbidden).
The Web.config file contains nested sections
marked by tags. The following example shows a typical Web.config file.
Look for the <compilation> tag. This marks the beginning of the <compilation>
section. In this section, you can specify the debug attribute. In the example
shown below, the debug is the second attribute specified in the <compilation>
section, but the order does not matter. Attributes are case sensitive,
so be sure to specify "debug", not "Debug" or "DEBUG".
Set debug to "true", as shown here:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation
defaultLanguage="c#"
debug="true"
/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
5. Another problem could be that you
have installed Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
and thus your web applications a re defaulting to the .NET Framework 2.0
as opposed to the .NET Framework 1.1.
You can chnage the Framework being used in
the ASP.NET tab in the setting for your vitual folder (application settings).
