Hello,

When I paste the following code into a Web Dev 2008 Express Document:


<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"

ImageUrl="~/App_Media/Graphics/Gif/VevidaLogo.gif">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

I get the error:

Error Rendering Control - Hyperlink 1
An Unhandled exception has occured.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

It doesn't metter what graphic is used (*.gif, *.jpg, *.png, ...)

What am I doeing wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Ben Coo

A reference to a DLL is missing, and it can't instantiate a needed object
behind the scene most likely.
 
WHICH DLL, pray tell!?

I recently migrated my development environment from an aging system to a new
one and installed VWD 2008 EE and have been getting this "Error Rendering
Control" since. Surprisingly, when I do a run with the local web server
things look fine (and the only inconvenience is when developing).

Any suggestions about fixing would be appreciated!

Should VWD 2008 EE be uninstalled and reinstalled? My recollection tells me
that when I installed there were no errors or exceptions noted and I do not
believe that I have deleted and/or moved any system type DLLs.

This isue is under investigation by .net team. Hotfix will be released soon.

Thanks to all,
