This is on a line of code generated by Visual Stsudio .Net. What does the

MikeMike,
The root directory of your application in IIS is not set as an
"application". The system is looking for the global.asax information in the
root. Open IIS, go to the properties on your website/fstest directory, and
click the "Create" button by the application name.

Thanks for the reply. Is there anything else it could be. The application
had been created and there was a global.asax file there. I removed then
recreated the application and still the same error. The only line in the
global.asax is"<%@. Application Codebehind="Global.asax.vb"
Inherits="FSTEST.Global" %>"
Thanks

Hello Mike,
Do you have a file called Global.asax.vb and does it define a class Global
with the namespace FSTEST?
Also, have you compiled to project (ie: is there a bin folder with dlls in
it)?

It was simpler than that. I hadn't compiled. I thought aspx was done at ru
n
time the first time the page was requested. I guess this ASP guy has a lot
to learn.

Ah, that will do it as well :). You are correct in that the ASPX pages
compile at runtime and are stored as temporary DLLs for faster execution.
However, the code behinds are compiled into a DLL (prior to deployment) that
you need to run the application. I'm sure you realize this all by now thoug

future.
Thanks again for your time,
