Web Application Help - I am Newbie

[JoltedPixel]

Hi Guys,

I need some help working with asp.net I do a lot of work with php (please dont throw rocks and burn me /emoticons/jumpin.gif ). Anyways I am trying to install a thumbnail upload script found here.

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/netimageupload.asp

Now the error I am getting is here

'Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'rigs.WebForm1'.'
http://perreymedia.com/Site/rigs/upload.aspx

Reading through what users have posted on that forum someone had this problem and had to create a new project. I have turned the folder my software is into a web application. Looking over the software I am using I am suppose to change where it says webapplication1 to the name of my application. I have tested it out with rigs as the name of the application (because that is the name of the folder) but that didn't work. Can anyone provide some guidlines?

Thanks so much, /emoticons/smile.gif

jordan,

this error usually means that you have not upload the dll into the code behind directory (by default, bin directory)

Not very sure what dlls you are meaning. I placed the file that the codebehind was calling in the bin file. However still getting the same error. When I create a web application what does it name it?

Thanks,

Jordan

OK... this is how asp.net code behind works

Say if you are using VS.NET to create your project, when you build the project, all your .cs or .vb code is compiled into a dll which is located in the bin directory. Your aspx pages will have a directive telling the page that the code is located in the dll.

The error you are seeing is generally caused by missing dll in the bin directory.

You have to make sure you put it in the right bin directory, the code will only look at the bin directory of the web application root.

Thanks for your continued help Bruce,

However I have searched and searched on google for information regarding VS.NET and I still have no clue how to create a project with VS.NET. Lots of articles I find reference going into places in which we do not have access to. They often think that this is a dedicated server. Anyways can you give anymore details on VS.net or any websites that tell in detail how to create projects and work with VS.net.

Thanks,

Jordan

Thanks for the reply,

However I have no clue where I am suppose to click 'File'. I think I am just overlooking something so simple. lol
