I found some error messages that might help solve this.

Please view the error messages in this screenshot: www.vapauto.com/dnn.jpg

Thanks!

Anybody?

Steve,
You can remove the file (AjaxTreeviewContents.aspx). It is a remnant of an earlier version and it 'escaped the lab'. It doesn't lead to any problems unless you try to 'build' the site. The new way of doing this in .NET 2 is very frustrating for developers like me who want to encapsulate and deliver our work without bothering the customer with any build issues.

I tried to delete that file but now when I build the site it comes up with four more errors and it wont even open the portal at all.

Error       1              Error parsing attribute 'enableEventValidation': Could not load file or assembly 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery, Version=3.0.11.3077, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

You mention building the site as if there is a better way.  I started this site in VisualStudio by clicking: create new website>dnn templates>build site. I am required to "build" the site every time in order to open it. This is not being hosted online, I am just running this from my computer.

Is there an easier way of doing this that wont give me all these errors?

Thank you for your help.

Steve,
The errors come out of the forums module. I'm afraid the method you're following is prone to these type of errors and you'll continue to run into them. You'll find a lot more about this in the DNN forums. The way you arrange and test a site is by using the good old Web Application Project in VS. Forget the 'open website', it's a nightmare. VS 2005, although offering some wonderful new features, is in fact a big step backward for developing modular websites (it assumes you're working on a monolithic site). What I do is the following:
1. Copy a 'install' version of DNN into an IIS directory, set permissions, etc
2. Create the db in SQL
3. Start up DNN and run through the wizard and point to the newly created DB
4. Add modules
5. Test what you want to test. If you want to create a new module use a W.A.P. Whatever you do: never open the site in VS 2005 as it assumes it is monolithic.
