Please help a newbie...

I cannot for the life of me figure out why I cannot run an ASP.NET app. Everytime I try to view in browser/debug I get the error:

maps to a directory outside this application, which is not supported.

I am using Visual Studio 2003. Could someone please enlighten me on what is going wrong here. I am a newbie so if the solution is simple please forgive my ignorance...thanksI have never heard of this error, and it isn't documented in MSDN. My guess is there is a mis-configuration in IIS. Sorry I can't be more specific.
Can you show sources for the page you are trying to view? Especially parts referring to elsewhere (like trying to reference user control etc)

Maybe you can have a look at the following post:

App_GlobalResources maps to a directory outside this application, which is not supported

Hope this helps,

thanks for posting that link...that is exactly what the problem was. I had a "\" at the end of the file path for the home directory...

thanks again, you saved me

That is so cool

I am happy you solved your problem.
