Hi,

I'm not having much luck converting a Web Site Project to a Web Application project, it converts just fine,  with no errors,  but then it doesn't want to compile,   I have reset the connections string in the dataset, but the conversion has messed up my amazon web reference,  Also this is an application which was orginally a vs23003 hat I converted into a vs2005 several moths ago.

Here are some of the errors?

Error 51 The type or namespace name 'dsLocations' does not exist in the namespace 'testweb' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Note Book C\My Documents\My Webs\testweb.com\testweb_Application\mymanager.aspx.cs 28 27 testweb_Application

Error 35 The type 'mymaster' already contains a definition for 'form1' C:\NoteBook C\My Documents\My Webs\testweb.com\testtestweb_Application\testweb.mymaster.designer.cs 15 51 testweb_Application

Error 75 XML document must contain a root level element. C:\NoteBook C\My Documents\My Webs\testweb.com\testweb_Application\testweb.DSDogBreeds.xsd 1 1 testweb_Application

Any help would be apprectiated..

Web References are handled differently between the two project systems.  I'd recommend removing the Web References and re-adding them.

What was dsLocations?  One of the differences between Web Site proejcts and Web Application Projects is that in Web Site did not allow you to define a project namespace where as Web Application Projects do.  I suspect your running into a situation where a namespace was auto-created for a Web Reference or other Type but is now in the default namespace fo the Web Application Project.

If you'd like some help with this feel free to send me a copy of your project or a sample with similar problems and I'll see if I can figure out what might be causing the problem.

Hope this helps,
Brad.

Hi,

dsLocations is a dataset where I suppose the "namespace was auto-created" by my vs2005 web site project.

thanks
