I downloaded a complete DataGrid example, "IssueTracker", for accessing an
Access DB with a DataGrid control. Sounded like a cakewalk. The first line
of the .aspx file referenced the "Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls" namespace.
I got an error msg that the namespace could not be found.



Any ideas?



The gory details follow:



I expanded the compressed, downloaded app into "AppFolder", which had .aspx
and .vb files and a couple of sub-folders.



The first line of the .aspx file is:



<%@ Register TagPrefix="iewc" Namespace="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls"
Assembly="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls" %>



I copied the AppFolder to the wwwroot folder a la Jeff Prosise's guidance
for testing his MyComicsRepeater example. I pointed IE to
http://localhost/AppFolder/IssueTracker.aspx



I got:

· Server Error in '/' Application.

· Parser Error Message: File or assembly name
Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

· Line 1: <%@ Register TagPrefix="iewc"
Namespace="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls"
Assembly="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls" %>

The latter line was rendered in red.)



I searched the web and found

·
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rols_entry.asp

that claimed "Microsoft Internet Explorer WebControls are not currently
supported".



A few other pieces of possibly relevant data:



I'm running

· WinXP-Pro/SP2 with security upgrades from MicrosoftUpdate and .NET
1.1

· Visual Studio .NET (MSDE 2002 using .Net Framework 1.0) despite the
fact the I've got 1.1 installed

Donwload & installa the Microsoft Web Controls:

In my own opinion, when use aplications than need to install 3rd party
components, that applications are not functionals because my are depending
from things than you dont know hows work and would be dificults to maintain.

Hi Andrés,

> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rols_entry.asp

I had found that site before by using Google. But I didn't realize I could
build the .dll.

Now I downloaded the stuff and followed the Readme.txt but ran into a new
problem: the compilation to produce the .dll failed. I'm going to post
this problem on a new thread.

BTW, I agree with your disdain for using 3rd party tool in building
production apps. I'm just working on improving my .Net skills.

Thanks for your help,
Richard

Hi Andrés,

I've decided to give up on the IE Web Controls. The problems I've
encountered have distracted from my main purpose of learning to build robust
web apps using VS.NET as a tool.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions. I'm sure we'll run
across one another on other topics during my struggle.

Again, thhanks for your help,
Richard
