i've been playing with asp.net v2 and while on it, i stumbled into dotnetnuke. quite impressed with it so thought i would give it a go. downloaded it, configure appropriately (i think) but then when i try to run it. i got this error

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://localhost/ExampleDNN/Default.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 2:<%@ Page CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault" %>

what could possibly went wrong?

This is because version 3.1 is designed for 1.1 version of the .NET framework. Not 2.0v yet, although they are working on it as we speak.

ic ic

can i leave v2 installed on my pc? at the moment i have both v1.1 and v2 running. so how can i use v1.1 for DNN?

i just uninstalled v2. please tell me if there are ways to keep both version installed.

anyway, i managed to install DNN on my pc . Pretty impressed with it. Where could I find a great tutorial to create a custom skin for it. and how easy it would for deployment?

You can have both versions installed but I don't remember what exactly you have to do. Basically though you have to tell DNN through IIS (I think) to use the ASP.NET 1.1 assembly instead to the 2.0 Beta assembly. I'm sure someone else here has the exact details.

For a skin tutorial, there's a great one in the Documentation\Public directory of your DNN install.

open up IIS manager and select the virtual directory you created and there is a .NET selection dropdown for the versions that are installed...

you can select the version necessary

hmmmmm ... i'm using windows xp pro with iis 5.1. and i cant find the .net selection drop down u are mentioning

from within IIS MMC on the Default Web Site > righ click properties look for ASP.NET tab, it will allow to default the sites to say version 1.1 or v2.0...

Welcome aboard Shuf.

thanks man
