    Thanks, now I'm getting this error:

    Server Error in '/' Application.

  • Hello_Yo

    Open up the solution explorer and you should see a Web.config file, in this config file you want to add 2 things in the <system.web> tag.

    <compilation debug="true" />
    <customErrors mode="Off" />

    This should fix your error and allow you to see any errors on your page, just make sure you remove or comment out the tags when you're done debugging.

    Hope this helps.
