I use a Host Service to display my website.
I have a website up and running that I developed in VS-2003. I use web copy
to send the website to my Host's computer.
I have been trying to publish a very simple (text only, no controls) website
using Web Developer Express. I copy the website to my host's computer, but
when I try to view the Default page in IE6 I get very strange errors such
as the "attribute xmlns not recognized" (from web.config page) and the
default class of a webpage not recognized "_Default not recognized" (from
Default.aspx)
Have I missed something in setting up Web Developer or do I need to give
some setup instructions to my Host ?
This should be simple, but it has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jim

Ensure that your hoster runs ASP.NET 2.0. Many don't, mine, for example, is
still on ASP.NET 1.1. You cannot use VWD to edit 1.1 Web sites, sorry, it is
for ASP.NET 2.0 only. Most probably the error is b/c ASP.NET 2.0 web.config
is different from 1.1.
