Contacts sample Atlas application error

When I try to run the site locally, I get aConfiguration Error .

Server Error in '/Contacts' Application.

Parser Error Message:Could not load type 'Microsoft.Web.Services.WebResourceCompressionModule'. (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\contacts\web.config line 62)

Line 62 is:<add name="WebResourceCompression" type="Microsoft.Web.Services.WebResourceCompressionModule"/>

Also, I see this error in Visual Studio: Error 1 Type 'Microsoft.Web.UI.Controls.AutoCompleteProperties' does not have a public property named 'MinimumPrefixLength'. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Contacts\DefaultFull.aspx 93

What do I need to modify here? Aren't these samples supposed to run without any tweaking?

Ooops...

Never mind. I just had to install the new March CTP of Atlas. I guess my installed version was a bit older.

Hi pmarangoni

The contacts\readme.txt has the following step to install and run the sample

ASP.NET 'Atlas' Contacts Sample

Setup
=====
Copy the following file:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\Atlas\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll

to the Bin folder in the folder where you have the Contacts sample files.

Running the Sample
==================
1. Open Visual Studio

2. Open the Contacts project by following these steps:

a. In the "File" menu, click "Open Website."
b. In the "Open Web Site" dialog box, click the "File System" tab.
c. Navigate to the folder where you have the Contacts sample files, and
then click "Open".

3. Run the Default.aspx page.

4. Navigate in the GridView control.

Notice that paging or sorting does not require a postback.

5. Drag the "Add new contact" panel to a different location on the page.

6. Enter a new contact.

Note that the box provides auto-complete behavior.

Hi jhawk,

I've tried following the instructions on most of the samples, including the Contacts sample.I haven't gotten any Atlas sample to work. Some of them won't even compile because of javascript errors. Others have runtime javascript errors.

As far as Contacts go, "Default.aspx" doesn't use any Atlas. You have to run "DefaultFull.aspx". However, when I try to run the "DefaultFull.aspx" page, I get a runtime javascript error: "invalid argument".

I think the samples need some more careful review.
