There was an error generating the XML document.

Hello when I serialize an object an error generated using this function
public string SerializeObject(object oClassObject,System.Type oClassType)
{
XmlSerializer oSerializer = new XmlSerializer(oClassType);
System.Text.StringBuilder strBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
System.IO.TextWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter(strBuilder);
try
{
oSerializer.Serialize(writer,oClassObject);
}
catch(InvalidOperationException ex)
{
string msg = ex.Message;
string stack = ex.StackTrace;
}
return strBuilder.ToString();
}
and exception occured with message "There was an error generating the XML
document."
how can I know where is the error occured the stack trace did not give usef
info
StackTrace : " at

Can you post the definition of the class you're trying to serialize?
If the class is not serializable, the XmlSerializer is going to have a
hard time turning it into an XML document :)

Hello Raed,
Your code looks ok. You'll need to dig down into the InnerException ... buri
ed
down in there you'll find the root cause of the problem.

This type of page is not served.

I am beginning to create my first .net website and am running into a problem. Google provided little help. I tried to access an .asp file within one of my subfolders and am receiving the following error:

This type of page is not served.

Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.asp' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Is it possible to change the web.config or machine.config file to allow access to an .asp page? I'm new to .Net 2.0.

Thanks!

Hi,

do you use windows server 2003 in combination with IIS6? If so you need to know that IIS6, by default, has the settings set to off for serving ASP.NET or classic ASP pages.

Besides that, ASP.NET webforms need to have the extension .aspx, not .asp. This is needed to have IIS use the correct ISAPI filters.

Grz, Kris.

Yes, I'm on a win2003 server with IIS 6. What I'm basically trying to accomplish is create a 2.0 login system to replace our current system. We currently have a lot of sites written in classic asp and a few newer sites written in .NET 2.0. So what I have done is set up a test and everything works well, until I try to access an .asp page inside of one of our sites. I know that webforms need the .aspx extension, but am unsure of how to configure ISAPI or httphandlers to allow the execution of .asp pages. A general diagram of our system is below:

Our_Portal -- main folder, has 2.0 login features with links to the following subfolders/sites

Site_A -- .NET 2.0 site

Site_B -- classic ASP

Site_C -- classic ASP

When I try to access sites B and C, I get the "cannot serve pages" error. Is this more clear?

This type of page is not served.

Why when I click .asp page shows up this error on VS 2005: "This type of
page is not served."

Can I configure it to run .asp pages?You must be using the built-in development server, right? That won't work.
Switch it to IIS and it should be fine.

in some websites I have seen a very good type of animation that consist of

Thrash my site

Note: "Thrash" not "Trash" :-)
I've developed a website, the purpose of writing this site was to test a
Model Driven Architecture type approach.
http://www.howtodothings.com
I'm not sure how well this approach stands up to high-demand. I thought I'd
ask in here if as many people as possible could just flick through some
categories, pull up some articles, etc.
Now that I think of it though this is a bit of a crappy way to test it, no
co-ordination of the demand. In which case, what is a good way to stress
test a website?
Thanks
