Remember to edit Web.Config when using VS2005

[jaimalchohan]

I posted a question late last night, I knew it wasn't a RFH problem (but it still got removed). Anyway, I solved it this morning, and the issue was this:

1. You create a new web project in VS2005
2. You view it online and the the "turn custome Errors mode to off" msg even tho it is 'off'

The reason is becuase in he web.config file VS2005 adds a XMLS reference in the <configuration> part which refers to the .net 2.0 framework, and since RFH isn't 2.0 yet, the application doesn't run

Also should you decide to the to publish or build your project, be sure that VS will add the XMLS reference back into the web.config so you will have to edit it again. (this was my exact proelm last night)

Anyway, its something that easily forgotten and can cause a lot of stress, so just try and remember, or write it down next to your PC,

Anything involving Red Fox Hosting services MUST be in a Red Fox Hosting forum - so again, this thread has been moved.

Ok, it's just that it isn;t anything to do with RFH.

I just wanted to point out that you can run VS.Net 2003 alongside VS.Net 2005. This allows you to continue working on v1.1 sites in VS.Net 2003 whilst migrating sites to v2 using VS.Net 2005.
