Hi,
I was trying to install CMS for my ASP.NET (Open source Umbraco). After the installation process, when I try to run the website, I get this error: Could not create type 'umbraco.webservices.documents.documentService'. E:\Users\Sarin\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\WebSite20\umbraco\webservices\api\DocumentService.asmx

Here's the line from webservice.asmx which is showing this error.
<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="DocumentService.asmx.cs" Class=umbraco.webservices.documents.documentService %>

The first place I would ask a question about it is the Umbraco forums. I'm sure they have some kind of support system there...

Of course, there's always google... In fact, I used google to find the link to the very forums I suggested you check:

http://forum.umbraco.org/[^]

Google is easy. Google is fun.

@John: I am coming from Umbraco forums itself and I didn't get the answer of the query there and I am still trying to find the solution on Google.

5+ For pointing out the obvious :)

Solution 2

Copied From Umbraco Site:
Download and install with Microsoft Web Platform Installer[^]

This is the recommended and easiest way to get up and running with Umbraco in no time.

The Microsoft Web platform installer will handle everything from installing your database, missing files and configuring a website running Umbraco for you automatically.

To get started, simply click the button below, which will launch the installation tool after a quick download.

BTW: It works ...

Oh come on! I have already tried that and I have also tried to build through the binaries.

I've installed from source and I've used the installer. Both worked like a charm. Don't know if it means anything, but I try really hard to avoid pathnames that includes spaces. Like having my source tree rooted in "c:\src", Visual Studio installed to "c:\vs10", SqlServer in "c:\MsSQL". Last time I installed Umbraco, I built it from source and placed it in "c:\WebSites\Umbraco". I haven't done anything serious with Umbraco, just fooled around with it a bit - but installing it wasn't a problem, I just followed instructions :)
