I am currently editing a project that was opened from a source control at my business. When trying to debug locally I get the error
Validating Web Site
: Build (web): The pre-application start initialization method Start
on type System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.PreApplicationStartCode threw
an exception with the following error message: Access to the path
‘C:\Users\gary\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\DOISAdminPortal\’
is denied..
Ive done some research and a lot of people say to delete the
add key=”webpages:Enabled” value=”true”
from the web.config file. It was never included in the config file so that shouldn’t be the issue.
Anyone have any suggestions??
The files which were contained in the VS 2010 folder needed to be given permissions to the iis express user iis_iusrs. once this was done I was able to access all files in the directory and was able to debug the page.
