Hello VS 2005 World...

I am making my way through VS 2005 Beta 1 and I'm having a problem getting
ASP.NET project to start in IIS running on an XP development machine.

I build a sample project in VS 2005 and it runs fine through the debugger.
Then I try using the new Publish Web Site feature to publish the application
to IIS at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\my_project.

It looks like everything gets published correctly to a virtual directory.
But when I go into IIS and configure the startup file to look for
Default.aspx then try and access the application in Exporer using this
address: http://localhost/my_project/default.aspx.

I get this message:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then
click the Refresh button, or try again later.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
'http://localhost/OneToMany2/default.aspx'. Line 1, Po...

This is a marker file generated by the precompilation tool, and should not
be deleted!

Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong here? The virtual
directory looks right, I see the code there and I don't see anything unusual
in IIS.The application works fine through the debugger.

One note is that the machine I installed Yukon and VS 2005 already had .NET
Framework 1.1 installed. Does this have anything to do with it? I don't
think so because the new VS 2005 Web Configuration App runs fine...

Thanks

Hi, Confused and bewildered.

The error
Invalid at the top level of the document.
Error processing resource
Click to expand...

Is a well-known error when an XML document
has any high-ascii characters in it.

Did you, by any chance, write any high-ascii
( ascii 128-255 ) characters in web.config ?

Well, no I didn't write any XML that I know of. VS 2005 might have... All
I did was publish a project that works in the debugger to local host from VS
2005 using the new Publish Web Site feature...

I suppose that VS 2005 might have screwed up something but it works fine in
the debugger so why would it be a problem in IIS?

I'll take a look though... Got any other ideas...
