    Web Site Setup problems

    I am a newbie programmer, using lots of books and online resources. I
    need help to get my asp.net page to work because right now all I am
    getting is errors.

    The project is to have a drop down list select names from a Access
    table, then display a gridview grid and a Detailsview Grid based on the
    selection chosen. Sounds pretty easy huh. At home I got the project
    made and working using MS Visual Web Developer 2005. The thing that
    bugged me is that I would only see my page if that program was running.
    I would prefer to call it anytime, like most normal web sites.

    I started the project from home had it working then wanted to transport
    it to work to finish it.

    Home: XP, asp.net using VB programming, dotnet 2.0 frame, Access 2003,
    MS Visual Web Developer Express 2005.

    After I made the default.aspx file using MS Visual Web Developer (and
    get the code syntax correct), I press F5 and my beautiful screen with
    my datagrid controls work perfectly.

    Work: SharePoint Services w/ WMSDE (or known as SQL Lite), dotnet 1.1
    and 2.0, Server 2003, IIS 6, Front Page 2003, Access 2003. All latest
    SPs and updates.

    I copied all the files into a directory. Using IIS, I made a web site,
    gave it a port number like 30000, allow anonymous access. When I type
    in \\WSS:30000, I get the following error information:

    Server Application Unavailable
    The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is
    currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web
    browser to retry your request.

    SO I decided to have a look inside of FrontPage 2003 to see my aspx
    file, and (in design view) all my controls DropDownList, Gridview and
    DetailsView say the same error notification:

    There was an error rendering the control.
    RegisterForEven tValidation can only be called during Render();.

    I did see a bunch of web sites talking about adding the following code
    to disable event validation:
    <%@ Page EnableEventVali dation="false" % to my document or a similar
    statement in web.config to set all documents to skip event validation
    and make the grids work again.
    The problem is that this didnt improve the situation.
    --------------------------------------------
    I do not believe that this is as much of a coding problem as it is a
    dotnet or IIS setup problem.
    I do not understand why I would have to have MS Visual Web Designer
    running just so I can see my website work properly.
    I do recognize that I may be doing something wrong in the setup
    somewhere, may knowledge of "Why do I have to do all of this" is not
    there yet.
    It is likely that running another ASP application concurrent with
    SharePoint is a bad idea (On this end I am going to set up another
    Database server so I can keep working)
    -------------------------------------------
    If anyone has an idea what I can do, please tell me. I am at a loss.

    Thanks,
    Harvnet

    Re: Web Site Setup problems

    I figured it out. I was missing a Namespace import from one of the
    following:

    <%@ Import Namespace="Syst em.Web.UI" %>
    <%@ Import Namespace="Syst em.Web.UI.WebCo ntrols" %>
    <%@ Import Namespace="Syst em.Web.UI.WebCo ntrols.WebParts " %>
    <%@ Import Namespace="Syst em.Web.UI.HtmlC ontrols" %>

    Not sure which one it was but I tried them all and it worked.
