VWD Express Edition 2005 error

I downloaded VWDEE several weeks ago and have been using it religiously since then. It is a great tool and I have really learned a lot during those weeks. I have now run into a real problem that I can't seem to get a handle on, so I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has seen this problem.

I started having random problems with my really simple ASP application. This application uses a database connection and most of the problems at first seemed to happen when connecting to the DB but I have verified that the DB works well with other programs and I can't find any real indications of DB problems. The first real evidence that I have found is the following error in the event log after I reboot. This error occurs 5-6 times when I log in after a reboot. This is running on Windows 2003 Server.

The other really strange thing is that if I run my ASP application 10 times, it will fail 6-8 times but work the rest of the time. It seems quite random. When it fails I get the same error in the event log that I get just after a reboot and login.

If I'm not mistaken "WebDev.WebServer.EXE" is part of VWD. I have searched the internet for any error like this but didn't find anything. Anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting I did run a complete scan to make sure I have no viruses. Everything is clean.

Reporting queued error: faulting application WebDev.WebServer.EXE, version 8.0.50727.42, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.1830, fault address 0x0002fc3e.

    WebDevServer is the web server built into VWD, and it should not be running if you aren't running VS or VWD.

    From the error you've listed below, it looks like part of teh problem is in NTDLL.DLL, which is a system DLL. I would check your system for virus's, spyware and such as that file shouldn't be affected in any way.

    Hi!

    The short answer to your question is that WebDev.WebServer.EXE will not server ASP applications, only ASP.NET stuff, so it may be failing when requesting ASP pages, but if you've got any html or ASPX pages, it works correctly.

    The best place for asking ASP.NET questions is on the ASP.NET community site, and in the forums there. Check out http://www.asp.net/welcome.aspx tabindex=1&tabid=39.

    HTH,

    Thanks for the feedback. I have already run a complete check for any adware, spyware or viruses and found nothing. I noticed the reference to ntdll.dll but it still bugs me that webdev.webserver is doing something right after a re-boot and login. It must start some service or something when I log in.

    I guess I'll try the Microsoft update web site and make sure everything is updated there too. Any other ideas

    rivers,

    Did you ever find out anymore about this issue I have been getting a very similiar error,

    "

    Event Type: Information

    Event Source: Application Error

    Event Category: (100)

    Event ID: 1004

    Date: 10/6/2006

    Time: 10:18:53 AM

    User: N/A

    Computer: WEBDEV

    Description:

    Reporting queued error: faulting application bengine.exe, version 10.1.5629.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.1830, fault address 0x0002fc3e.

    As can be seen my error is related to the "bengine.exe" file that is the backupexec job engine. I'm going in circles on this one.

    My mistake. I used the ASP term generically. I am running ASP.net code.

    I continue to get this message multiple times after a reboot and sometimes when trying to debug a page.

    Reporting queued error: faulting application WebDev.WebServer.EXE, version 8.0.50727.42, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.1830, fault address 0x00036d25.

    What is WebDev.WebServer What is it trying to do even before I have started VWD How can I troubleshoot this problem

    I have already removed and re-installed VWD. Any other suggestions
