Re: [mvc2inaction-discuss] error message about existing

[Jeremy Skinner]

Did you upgrade the example app to .NET 4 by any chance? The samples for the book are compiled against .NET 3.5 and come with separate System.Web.Abstractions / System.Web.Routing. 

If you've upgraded the samples to .NET 4 then they won't work out of the box as both various classes (eg RouteTable) were merged into System.Web as part of .NET 4, so essentially the app won't know which RouteTable class to use. 

You should have two options - either rollback the upgrade so that the sample runs on .NET 3.5 or you can manually modify the samples to remove references the net35 versions of System.Web.Routing/System.Web.Abstractions.

Hi everybody!

I recieve error message from the sourcode in chapter 1 from the book
"ASP.NET MVC 2 in Action".

The error message is:

and

What should I do in order to make the program to be working properly?
