I am new to .Net, so am not even sure where to begin.   I tried to use the CityStateFinder and am getting the following error when I try to use the sample Default.aspx.  What am I doing wrong?

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'CityStateFinder.Global'.

Source Error:

Line 1:  <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.vb" Inherits="CityStateFinder.Global" %>

It turned out the reason your server control wouldn't fire in the current project was NOT the fact that you're using Forms authentication; it was an Application Begin Request sub in Global.asax.vb that was killing it. (Something that was inherited and the project didn't even need.)

Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Try

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages(0))

Catch

End Try

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol = "$"

End Sub

Once it was removed, everything worked smoothly.
