Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet

[Prakash_Joy]

I am trying to surf the web application (developed in ASP.NET)which is there in my personal system .I am getting the error while accessing the link :


Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.


A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/RA%20TOOL/Login.aspx'. Line 1, P...

<%@ Page Language="vb" debug="true" AutoEventWireup="False" Inherits="RiskAssessment2.Login" CodeFile="Login.aspx.vb" %&g...


Could you tell me what could be the reason ..

Hi I have found a fix to your problem on MSDN

click start->Run
type cmd and enter

go to directory
c:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\[version]\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
[version] being your latest version you might want to use the dir /p command to check your options
1.1 for Visual Studio .Net / Web Matrix
2.0 for Visual Studio 2005

This will reiinstall the mappings for the .Net framework
This error usually happen when IIS is reinstalled

Good Luck

Hi expert:

I got error while trying to open a .xml file: "Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet". I run aspnet_regiis.exe as you instructed in the thread but it didn't fix my problem. Can you help?
Thanks

If this is occuring for all your contacts, there is probably something wrong with the XSL file.

If this is occuring for just one contact, there is probably something wrong with that contacts XML history.

Are you sure your xsl file is well formed? Can you open your xsl file by itself without error?

@baadkitty
I met exactly the same problem. Only one friend's log can't open. After checking on the xml file, I found there are two </log>, but only one <log>. The first </log> is deleted, then it is good.

The fix for this error usually has to do with the error message.
