Thank you all for replying. I went ahead and created web deployment project
for my Web site. This site use to be Web Site type of project and recently
I converted to Web Application type of project. When I did a build using
Web Deployment project, and deployed to Windows 2003 server, I am getting
following error when I try to access a page. It basically gives me CS0433
error.
Exception message:
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary
ASP.NETFiles\website\0638e07f\70302fea\App_Web_egeneral.master.7371103c.ladtpjhq.0.cs(112):
error CS0433: The type 'MasterPage_eMasterLanding' exists in both
'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary
ASP.NETFiles\website\0638e07f\70302fea\assembly\dl3\750696ff\006b49d8_2e10c901\masterpages.DLL'
and 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary
ASP.NETFiles\website\0638e07f\70302fea\assembly\dl3\ef1b9231\002c67d1_1f10c901\WebSite.DLL'
Is this a build issue because when I do a build from visual studio 2008 and
xcopy the entire site to 2003 then it works fine, no errors. Also, it
works fine with my development box running windows xp. My site contains
folders like below with some .cs code in Old_App_Code folder. Once again
thank you all and any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
