I am hoping to use WebGui for a PublicSafety app...looks Great! I have successfully installed Visual WebGui 5.82.9 on a Win XP machine with IIS 5 and Visual Studio 2005.

The Catalog app runs but displays the following upon opening the project:

Warning 1 Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.  0 0 
Warning 18 The designer must create an instance of type 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Catalog.BaseForm' but it cannot because the type is declared as abstract.  0 0 

 at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.Error(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, String exceptionText, String helpLink)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.TypeCodeDomSerializer.Deserialize(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeTypeDeclaration declaration)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.BasicDesignerLoader.BeginLoad(IDesignerLoaderHost host)

Rebuild is successful but then displays 18 Warnings.

And I cannot display the design of either MainForm.cs or MdiMainForm.cs

Kind Regards!

Thank you for your reply...

I have been in the ~habit~ (good or not) of creating my Web projects in a \projects folder outside \inetpub\wwwroot and then pointing to the project folder when creating the virtual folder in IIS.

I found that once I copied the Catalog project into \inetpub\wwwroot everthing compiled properly.

I also created a VWG project using the "Introduction" Camtasia video ... copied it also into the \inetpub\wwwroot directory. It still didn't run like the ~Intro~ video project BUT then I found the README notes that got pulled into the project that explained how to change the extension on the Form1.

Runs like expected...and Pretty cool!

Thanks again!
