I have been running Visual Web Developer Express fine but then because the localhost adresses were different

eg.

 http://localhost:56018/NEWNATCOL/NatColNew/account/mktPlaceAdvertEntry.aspx?adid=Q7WvkUAyKU4%3d

vs.

http://localhost:51958/NEWNATCOL/natcolnew/styles/mktplaceadvertentry.css

it does not pick up the css anymore.

 This is really fustrating.

I've tried setting the port to be fixed and I've recently installed service pack 1.......to no avail.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

thank you,

George. 

 I've also changed the settings in web.config to be set to use port 56018 which is the same as the site port (that's fixed).

It still does not work. I'm running Vista aswell.....dunno if this is going to make an impact.

cheers,

George.

How do you specify URL to the CSS file in the <link> element? Or is it in a theme?

 The url for the <link> is elemtent is constucted using GetCSSLinks in the master page. Does this you diagnose the problem?

Is this something to do with the Cassini web server? I don't think this would happen in IIS but I'm using the express developer.

cheers,

George.

VWD Express does support IIS, you don't have to be using dev server.

So, are you retrieving links and then store them somewhere so next time you run the app links don't work?

No it's all done on the fly using the GetCSSLinks function which we've written to fish out all the relavent links based on a filename and the db content for the page. We've made it so it can work under many guises so it pulls out lots of different physical addresses depending on which page is being called and under what subdomain. 

It all works.....just not on my machine running web dev express. I will pull out IIS and get visual web dev to use that instead.

cheers,

George.
