error message re configuration error

Hi

would appreciate any help on this


i had a very simple demonstration Database app for what I set up and was using a repeater contol as a test and it was working fine.

My computer seemed to have have some sort of smak attack last week (maybe a virus although I have Virus Software) and then none of my .Net projects were working (Approx 10). I managed to uninstall and reinstall everything relating to .NET and now its all working except for this one.

I get this error every time I try to run it

I have set up a new app to test and the CONFiG file is exactly the same

Server Error in '/' Application.

hello any ideas anyone

I would suggest you to let VS. NET create a new web application and then import your old files in to that application. There may be some work arounds for your problem, but i think that is the simplest.

Hi.

In the IIS Administration, you can select the folder the project is in, and then set it as an application. Then it will work again.

I have tried the same thing when re-installing my entire harddrive.
Then after installing VS .NET my IIS still didn't know about these applications. In the beginning I also created a new project and imported the existing files, but that is not needed.

Hope it helps. ;)
