RE: Upgrading a web application to VS 2005

Steve,

Thanks for replying to my post.

Following the information you gave me, I have now found the missing code -
It is in the App_Code folder as you suggested!

Also I have found the reason for the fact it produced this error when
compiling. The code uses this call in inline code (not originally coded by
me I hasten to add!), i.e.

'<A href="<%= Global.GetApplicationPath(Request) %>/Desk ........'

and the VS 2003 to VS 2005 converter seems to ignore this, and therefore
produces and error when it changes

'Global.App...' to '[Global].App...',

but does not also change the calls from the inline code!

Thanks also for the upgrade reference material. It looks to be just what I
need.

I am sure I will be posting again soon!

;-)


Cheers, Mike.
