 Please Disregard - I've Found The Problem

 I'm trying to create a new seperate project/solution in VS2008 from one that I had originally created with the Dynamic Data Website Wizard.  I have copied the original folder that contains the website and all of the DynamicData folders to a new folder and created a new project in VS2008 instructing it to use the existing code.

 When I try to run the new web site from the VS2008 IDE with the development web server I get an HTTP 404 'Resource not found' error as soon as I try to navigate to one of the table list custom pages.  It appears that URL Routing has stopped working.  The code builds just fine and I don't get any errors until I get the HTTP 404 when I try to navigate.

What am I doing wrong.  What should I do to create a new project in VS2008 from one that I had originally created with the Dynamic Data Website Wizard.

 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks,

 Dave

Make sure that the routes are set up correctly in Global.asax. Also, ensure that the project's web.config has the System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule registered.

Thanks a bunch...  I found the problem.

Apparently the routing engine doesn't like having a root folder with a name like 'Oz.Web'. Or maybe it was the development web server itself.

Anyhoo when I moved everything to a folder named 'OzWeb' and recreated the solution everything worked fine.

Thanks again...
