Re: Keep getting this error when trying to use Web Parts in VS2005 Beta 2. Why?



Thanks Brock! I did install SQLExpress but I don't think it was a clean
install. There were errors towards the end and for the life of me, I can't
seem to get it to install without errors. It was just confusing because I
start getting that error as soon as I add a Web Part Manager and I don't see
any connection strings or the ability to set one anywhere. I wish there were
some better tutorials out on it.

Thanks again!
