visual web developer 2010 build errors

[davebat]

Hi,

My 'puter got a virus so i reinstalled windows, and rather than install the full visual studio 2008 that I had before I went for visual web developer 2010.

I opened a solution and tried to debug and got loads of build errors, the most numerous being:

Error 155 'HttpContext' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

It recommends importing system.web, I currently import

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Can anyone tell me whats changed as this site ahs been running fine for a couple of years now?

Thanks

Hello,

It could be that your full version of Visual Studio was including a Default Import for System.Web, which is not being done by Visual Web Developer. I am not a big user of VB.Net, but I seem to remember that this is a function that it can do for you.

If you put in Imports System.Web, does it begin to work? There may be some other that you also need to include.

Thats interesting (Between 9 - 5 anyway!), thanks Gary I'll take a look into this. Hope it is something simple like this.

Like I said, this is a half remembered something, and I might be leading you up the garden path, but...

Cheers Gary, Someone on another forum said they both do this as default so was probably a build error. After repairing didnt work I uninstalled and put visual web developer 8 on. Thought this may be better as same framework.

I then relaised my solution wouldn't open as it was now a newer version, so I spent some time recreating.

I now have the soltuion with 3 websites inside, and a data access layer.

I get all the same erros, but now i relaise they are all coming from just one of the projects and only in three classes in the app_code folder.

Does this mean anyhting?

Ive got rid of all build errors, I re-imported a missing reference and auto corrected some errors. Now my problem is with debugging:

Previously I ran two projects when debugging and when the code redirected from one project to the other it was fine, now i get

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:3360.

Hmmm, nothing is immediately springing to mind, sorry.

Without "playing" with the code, I am not sure what else to suggest
