What I've done so far. - Uninstalled all .NET frameworks (1.0 and 1.1) - Uninstalled Visual Studio - Uninstalled IIS - Removed the ASPNet account - rebooted after each of the above steps - Reinstalled IIS and reoobted - Reinstalled .NET 1.1 framework and rebooted - Reinstalled VS.NET and rebooted - ran asp_iisreg -i and rebooted - ran asp_iisreg -r and rebooted and I am still having zero-luck and getting the same HTTP 500 error when attempting to create an ASP.NET project on my local machine.

Hi there, I think that you are trying to access an xml file at line 387 in the wogrid.ascx.cs file, however, the error occurs as you disable anonymous access. In this case, you may have to explicitly specify a credential that has permission to access the xml file. The sample code looks like: ... string url = "..."; XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader (url); XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver(); resolver.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; //You can also specify another valid user instead of using the DefaultCredentials. //NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain"); //resolver.Credentials = credential; reader.XmlResolver = resolver; ...

...why is it the most obvious things I try last? public void SaveGrid() { TemplateColumn tc = (TemplateColumn)DataGrid1.Columns[0]; Debug.WriteLine(((WOGridTemplate)tc.ItemTemplate).fieldName); }

Hi there, In my opinion, there might be some reasons as to why the SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire. In the 'Process postback data' phase of the Control Execution Lifecycle, the LoadPostData method will be running. This method basically does a comparison between the current selected item with the posted value. Depending on the returned value of the method, the SelectedIndexChanged will be raised or not in the next phase ('Send postback change notifications'). So I think that there may be no data at all in the Items of the control when the LoadPostData is running, and the event is not raised. Another reason might be when the SelectedIndexChanged event fires in the 'Send postback change notifications' phase, there is no handler registered for this event by that time, so you might think that the event does not fire. For more information, I'd recommend you to read some documents below: Control Execution Lifecycle[^] Processing Postback Data[^] Adding Controls to a Web Forms Page Programmatically[^]
