We are hosting some aspx pages in classic asp application. These aspx pages use manual code for building datasource. Is there a way to use ObjectDataSource for this?
Trying it gives error:
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: The element 'buildProviders' cannot be defined below the application level.
Note that asp classic site is hosted as virtual directory under IIS.
You get this message because you do not have setup your directory as net application.
You must understand that asp and asp.net are two different thinks.
Can work together if you setup both, if you setup only the one, the other is not work, so to run asp.net you need to assign it as web app, give a pool, and have all the needed files and directory to start.
