VS 2003 C# .net debugger problem

[JScannell]

I try running my app in VS 2003 and get this error:

Publisher policy file is not found

yet the application works fine if I move the .dlls and .aspx files into my development server environment.

This seems to be a problem associated with running my app in the VS 2003 debugger.

Here's the entire error display (note that line 51 displays in red on the screen):

Parser Error Message: File or assembly name ActiveReports.Web, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

was the application written in .net 2.0+? if so you cannot debug or view the code in VS 2003. you would need VS2005 - VS 2010.

were the binaries on the server built in debug or release mode? there are minor differences between the two, but this may play a role in whether you can debug the assembly or not.

Jason,

The project was written in .net 1.1.4322

My symptoms have morphed now that I was informed to copy the bin directory in the project folder up to the home page folder. Nobody said anything about that before!!

Now I have a debugging problem. If I try to do a F5 I get a popup that tells me: "Unable to find project on the Web server...."

I've checked and rechecked and the csproj file is in the folder:

http://localhost/ProjectFolder/ProjectFile.csproj

So what is the debugger looking for?

Thanks,


Jerry Scannell

I'm not entirely sure.
