I have just tried to open a the
file "Controls/CreateEditPost.cs" from within Visual
Studio .Net, and the error message:
'An error occurred while loading the document. Fix the
error, and then try loading the document again. The
error message follows: An exception occurred while trying
to create an instan of
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl. The exception
was "Constructor type
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl not found" '

This file is used in the Forums Starter Kit, and I have
not changed it.

Any idea what the problem can be?

As an aside I searched for and found the
file 'webcontrol.cs' on my development PC, but when I
load it into Visual Studio to have a look at it, the '[!'
characters in the line:
'namespace [!output SAFE_NAMESPACE_NAME]' are underlined
with the Build Error 'Identifier expected' shown - Is
this causing a problem?


Thanks, Mike.
 
Hi Mike,

You need to replace the string [!output SAFE_NAMESPACE_NAME] with a real
namespace name like:

MyNameSpace

You may try this to see if the error will be removed.

I changed the namespace and it makes no difference - On
closer inspection, this file is in a Folder called
VC#Wizards, and looking at the
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl class, this looks
nothing like it!

I will email you the code that is causing the problem.
It is as it is supplied with the Forums Starter kit.

It seems like it might be a problem with the .Net base
code, and I might need to upgrade the version of .Net
that I have on my development PC? - What do you think?


Thanks, Mike.

Hi Mike,

To ensure if the problem was related to the enviroment on your computer,
you can try to create web controls library project with VS.NET. Can you
done this?

Additionally, this problem may also related to the installation and
configration of the Forums Starter Kit.
