Please please please.  If someone has a fix for this please let me know.   I am at my wits end with trying to figure this out.   I can't use the designer in VS2008 cause of this.   Any help at all would be appreciated.

No matter what changes I make to the project or IIS, this problem will NOT go away.      I can't be the only one that is running into issues with this.   

Again, I have my DNN virtual directory setup and running under Z:\InetPub\DotNetNuke.   Launching it by itself works just fine.

My project directory is Z:\Programming\xxxxxx\

In the web tab for my project, I am have "Use Local IIS Web Server" selected with a project directory set to a valid IIS Virtual directory.  I also have "Override Application root url" checked with the DNN virtual directory selected "http://localhost/dotnetnuke/"

So matter what changes I make to this, I can't get it working in VS 2008.   Designer doesn't work and no designer file gets generated when I make changes.   If someone has ANY idea, I would REALLY appreciate it.

Chaitanya

Hi Chaitanya,

I hope you resolved this already.  But if you didn't or if someone else is looking for the answer, I found the (an?) answer for my instance of this problem.

1) make sure that you have a virual directory for the root of your DNN site set up.
2) make sure that in your module directory, there is no web.config file
3) Make sure that the Project URL points to your module, in my case it's "http://localhost/PageConfirmDnn/DesktopModules/PageConfirm".  Where "http://localhost/PageConfirmDnn" is the virtual directory set up above.
4) make sure that the Override root URL is set to the virtual directory set above "http://localhost/PageConfirmDnn"  (this was my problem, I had a typo in the name, I looked at it about 19K times before I saw it!).  One note on this, I do not have I trailing / on my paths, I don't know if that makes a difference.
5) make sure that the directory is accessable by IIS (eg: check the permissions)
6) exit and reload VS2008 (this one tripped me up too).  it seems just chaning the properties is not enough, you need to get VS to reload them!

Regards!

Jeff

I used to get a lot of these errors whenever I needed to read some files from the server using Server.MapPath() method and using localhost virtual directory. This was because when running in localhost the website is actually a diretory in website(http://localhost). So I needed to add(/[Virtual directory name]) to solve this issue.

Hope this helps someone.
