Troubleshooting

DataGrid in ASP.NET Page Doesn't Show

I chose ASP.NET for my database pages. The page shows up, but the DataGrid doesn't display.

First, make sure that your Web server supports ASP.NET and that the .NET Framework is installed. If you check out for both of those, it is likely that ASP.NET has not been correctly registered on IIS.

Go to a command prompt, switch to the C:\<Windows_Folder>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<Framework_Version> folder, and run the following command:

 aspnet_regiis -i 

After the command has finished installing ASP.NET onto IIS, try your page again, and the DataGrid should display.

Use an Existing Database Connection Is Disabled

I am trying to insert a Database Interface Wizard, but the option to use an existing database connection is not available.

The option to use an existing database connection is only available if you are adding the Database Interface Wizard to an existing Web site. Make sure that you have checked the Add to Current Web Site check box before starting the Database Interface Wizard and that you have a database connection created in the existing Web site.
