Website will not start - UNC share problem
I am trying to convert a website to ASP.Net. I was using it in Dreamweaver but I want to be able to use the code behind ASP and so I have brought the project into Visual Studio so that I can do this but I cannot get the website to run. It gives me the following error:
'An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to '(long file path here to a folder were some PDFs are stored for website links)' because the network BIOS command limit has been reached. For more information, please refer to Microsoft Knowledge base article 810886. Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform.
I checked out the article which tells you to check some registry setting. I have the right folders to the registry but the ones they want changed do not exist on my computer. Should I add them or what should I do to fix this problem so my website will run. Help!

I would say add the registry keys if they do not exist first & let us see if the problem persists.

I added the registry settings and it still gives me the same error.

This has something to do with my website being saved on a network drive. I copied everything to my computers hard drive and now it runs fine without an error. Any suggestions on how to get this to work on the network path?
you will need to let .NET trust the assemblies of this web application or the UNC path

I can't get this trust assembly set up because I do not have a DLL file because I have not been able to build the project due to the error i keep getting. Any more suggestions?
>>I copied everything to my computers hard drive and now it runs fine without an error
I thought it is building now without issues ?
also please confirm that the registry settings in the above KB article were applied on the Server where the UNC path is located , not on the client machine.

The registry settings were applied on the Server but I'm still getting the error about the UNC path. I can build my project saved on my computer but I do not get DLL file?? I have tried Publish web site as well but nothing produces a dll.
ASKER
I just located the DLL under C:\Documents and Settings\myLogin\My Documents\Visual Studio

A network computer and another personal PC will Trust this assembly but mine produces the message I posted above. Any suggestions on why it won't work on my pc?

I was finally able to get it to add the trusted assembly but because I had to borrow the DLL from another compiled project and renamed it still doesn't work. How do I get it to compile? And how come the bin folder is not on the network drive instead of my local computer? Am I supposed to trust to the path on my local computer or create a bin folder on the network drive and copy the dll there??
if this is Visual studio 2008, I think you may have hit a bug , that has a workaround, make sure Service pack1 for VS2008 is installed

I'm using VS 2005.

This has something to do with the file size of my project. If I delete the folder that contains all the PDF documents that are linked on my website (137 MB) then my website will run. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to fix this. I really need to keep this project on a network drive and I need the folder that contains all my documents!
