OK, so I am starting my first project using the newer web connection web control framework and am having what I suspect will be a config-related issue. I AM able to get the 'classic' wc stuff working flawlessly so I know that the basics work. Here's a quick rundown of my setup.
c:\wconnect - 566
c:\dev\migration - Where I moved the PJX and such to get the classic wc stuff working.
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Migration
I added the DLL as instructed in the help file and the wc toolbox components do show up in the toolbox. When I Add a New Item (WC Web Page (C#)) it shows just fine. Now, I DO get a web.config file in c:\dev\Migration and it's sparse. Here are the file contents:
<?xmlversion="1.0"?><configuration><system.web><compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"><assemblies><add assembly="System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/></assemblies></compilation></system.web></configuration>
There is a complete version in the virtual dir; about 6K and it looks complete but when it is in focus I get all sort of errors. When I focus on the smaller copy in the c:\dev\Migration dir I get only two complaints in VS 2012. They are
Warning 1 Element 'wwWebErrorDisplay' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing. C:\Dev\Migration\Default.ara 37 9 C:\Dev\Migration\
Warning 2 C:\Dev\Migration\Default.ara: ASP.NET runtime error: There is no build provider registered for the extension '.ara'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'. C:\Dev\Migration\Default.ara 1 1 C:\Dev\Migration\
The first I can resolve by dropping a new copy of wwWebErrorDisplay on to the form. The second I am unable to resolve and would surely appreciate some guidance on.
I've tried both approaches with the web.config files and am sort of scratching my head as to why I cannot add the buildProviders to the c:\dev\migration copy.
The web page is an out-of-the-box standard WC Web Page as noted above. The name is "default.ara' and I have sucessfully enabled that extension inside of the Options/File Extensions area so code shows as expected.
I have run everything as Administrator. Uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. and am at the point where I need an assist. And, I can run default.ara but it just gives me a dir listing. SO I did look in IIS8 but came away empty handed.
Oh, this is the same on both machines. They are both Win 8 Pro 64 bit. Guessing that may be a part of the issue?
Thanks
