Strange webserver behaviour

I'm currently starting my first asp.net 2.0 app, and doing so on my
current webhotel proved to be somewhat of a challenge.

First I thought I had a problem with references, since it gave an error
when I added LuaInterface.dl l and tried using it:

"CS0246: The type or namespace name 'LuaInterface' could not be found
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I then proceeded to create an App_Code folder, make a custom class
(Class1) and use that in on my Default.aspx page (code-behind)... Same
result:

"CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Class1' could not be found (are
you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

....

Now all these things work fine if I run it locally on my own computer.

Furthermore, I also noticed I had to do quite a few changes to the
standard provided web.config file (created when you run the first
time). If I create a standard WebSite project (HTTP) and just try to
run it out-of-the-box (f5), it gives the following error:

"Unable to start debugging on the web server. Logon failure: unknown
user name or bad password. See help for information."

However, I was never asked about login credentials when trying to run -
but the user/password for logging on the server were correct when I
created the project (and the files are actually on the server).

Alright. Running without debugging (ctrl-f5) works. However, I have to
set customErrors to "off" in the web.config file and comment the
<authenticati on mode="Windows"/out for the whole thing to work.

But then, if running in HTTP mode, it's unable to add references or add
classes to App_Code, since it can't create a _vti_cnf folder, which
apparently already exists on the server. Argh! This works in FTP mode
though, strangely.

If I create a project that works perfectly locally and copy it up to
the webserver, I get exactly the same problems.
Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong - might be a trivial problem?
Frustrated thanks,
- Rasmus.

Check the "Security" options in IIS. It seems there is some
misconfiguratio n.

What do you mean by "running in HTTP mode"?
_vti_cnf folder... forget about frontpage extensions, you don't need
them with VS2005.

Regarding your assembly-reference problem, just ensure the following:

1. You have a bin folder (you can right click on the project and select "Add
an ASP.Net Folder" -"Bin").
2. The assembly exists in the bin folder.
3. There is a reference to the assembly in the <compilations ub-section in
<system.websect ion in web.config.

My problem is that this not my webserver, I don't have access to IIS
settings, but I wanted to check if I was doing something wrong before
contacting the webhosting company.

I mean when creating the project, selecting either HTTP, FTP og
FileSystem. I get different errors with FTP and HTTP modes connecting
to the project.

the webserver, I get exactly the same problems.

Regarding your assembly-reference problem, just ensure the following:

1. You have a bin folder (you can right click on the project and select "Add

2. The assembly exists in the bin folder.
3. There is a reference to the assembly in the <compilations ub-section in
<system.websect ion in web.config.


My local copy works fine without a reference in the web.config. But the
other two are fullfilled.

Hi, I'm using the Cache object to persist some values between pages. I'm setting the expiration for 2 minutes. I'm actually storing Bitmap streams in the cache.
