RE: Move to vs2005 causes errors in external controls

Hi

Thanks for the reply.... hopefully I can answer your questions.

Ok, the website code is all located on my Win2k3 server, in a directory on
the W: drive. W:\Intranet to be precise. All the dlls and everything are
located in the \bin folder below that (W:\Intranet\Bin).

IIS 6 has a website with it's home directory set to W:\Intranet.

The machine running Visual Studio is connected via the normal router setup,
with W:\ on the server being mapped as W:\ on the client machine (to keep
things simple!), and when I open my solution, I'm opening it directly from
the mapped W: (W:\Intranet\Intranet.sln).

It would appear that the dll is being recognised, as if I comment out the
Register line..

<%@ Register TagPrefix="obout" Namespace="OboutInc.Calendar"
Assembly="obout_Calendar_Pro_Net" %>

then the following line...

<obout:Calendar runat="server" ID="calDate" />

gives me the error "Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'obout'."

Whereas, if I leave that line in, I get the error.. "Element 'Calendar' is
not a known element. This can occur if there is a compilation error in the
Web site."

Either way, I still get the System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission error.

The control I'm using doesn't have a design time implementation, and if I
try and drag the DLL onto the form, I just get an <a href /> element :)

I hope this helps? The control I'm using has a trial version available at
www.obout.com if that will help.

Hoping you can fix this!!

Cheers



Dan
