hresult e_fail error using christoc template

I have setup a new development environment using

WIN 8.1, VS2013, Telerik controls q3 2014, Dotnetnuke 7.03.04, Json.net 6.08 and latest DNN 7 Project Templates V4 for VS2013.

When I create a new DAL2 project and open view.ascx in design mode then I get "hresult e_fail..." error for the rptItemList control. I am also not able to put a control in design mode. If I write the control in the source and go back to design mode then I get the same error for the created control..

If I create a new ASP.NET web application project I have NO problems adding controls and no errors.

Please help.

Kind regards,

Henk

What is the name of your project and Solution? Do you happen to have underscores in them? - Chris Hammond

I restored the Discussions tab on Codeplex and dug through the posts there.

Looks like it is either caused by

  • Underscore or Dashes in the project/solution name
  • Bad configuration in IIS, make sure you don't have a virtualdirectory/application on the desktopmodules or the module folder in IIS.
