Hi, folks.

I'm just learning ASP programming in C# using Borland C# Builder
I'm having problems, which I think are some sort of configuration
issue, with .NET framework or IIS.

I'm using XP Pro on a standalone PC.

I use C#Builder to create a new ASP.NET Web application.
It creates various default files: Web.config, Global.asax, assemblyinfo.cs
Webform1.aspx., Webform1.aspx.cs.

Webform1.aspx gives a template for an HTML form, and uses codebehind
for the code. Webform1.aspx.cs gives a default namespace WebApplication,
and a default class WebForm1.

When I try to run the application in a browser, I get a lot of error
messages
shown in the browser.

First, it objects to the standard Web.Config file. The line
<authentication mode="Windows" />
gives the following error: " It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.
This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured
as an application in IIS."

I've tried changing the mode, but it gives the same error whatever
I set it to.

I have the same problem with the part that sets the SessionState.

The only way I can fix it is to comment them out.

Then, when I try to run it, it objects to the first line in Webform1.aspx
<%@ Page language="c#" Debug="true"
Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="WebApplication.Form1" %>

It gives the error message: Could not load type
'WebApplication.Client.Form1'.

Now, it used not to run from a browser, but I could run it from
C#Builder.

Now, an additional problem has occurred. When I try to run an application
from C#Builder I get an alert box with a new error message.
"Unable to attach to ASP.NET Process (typically aspnet_wp.exe)"

Looking at taskmanager I see aspnet_wp.exe is running.

Any ideas? TIA.

Hi Peter...

You might want to post your question in a .NET newsgroup. They all have
dotnet in their name. This is a Classic ASP NG which only supports
VBScript/JScript.

Are you talking about the directory's properties in IIS? Have you told IIS that the directory has an application (Properties>>Directory>>Application Settings)? Visual Studio does this for you, but I don't know about Borland.

Ah, I didn't know that.

That's solved at least part of the problem. I can now run programs in
internet explorer.
Although I still cant run it from Borland - that must be a seperate issue.

You've helped a lot, thanks very much.
