SUBSONIC using subcommander via VS2008 causing following errors - help please

Ive been using subcommander to generate my dal. Im using vb.net and sqlexpress and .net 3.5

My webconfig looks like this

<!-- add subsonic in for dal-->
    <section name="SubSonicService" type="SubSonic.SubSonicSection, SubSonic" allowDefinition="MachineTo开发者_Go百科Application" requirePermission="false"/>
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>

    <!-- Development connection string -->
    <add name="kimconnection" connectionString="Data Source=7NQ384J\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=kim2;Integrated Security=True;"/>
</connectionStrings>

<!--Add my provider for subsonic to my database-->
<SubSonicService defaultProvider="kimAppProvider">
    <providers>
        <clear/>
        <add name="kimAppProvider" type="SubSonic.SqlDataProvider, SubSonic" connectionStringName="kimconnection" generatedNamespace="kimdata"/>
    </providers>
</SubSonicService>
<appSettings>


<!--Add my provider for generating my dal / classes-->
<buildProviders>
    <add extension=".abp" type="SubSonic.BuildProvider, SubSonic"/>
</buildProviders>

Ok my problem is that if I comment out my build provider (as I thought I didnt use it when using subcommander to generate my classes), I cant do imports kimdata inside my aspx code behinds to access to classes.

However if I leave this is, (ie dont comment it out) and I then debug my code in visual studio I get over 200 errors, the error message is "statement cannot appear outside method body"

the error seems to show this im my compiled app_code when its debugging, the thing is this is c#, im using vb, the classes I generate are vb, and the default language is vb, so why is this in c# and is this the reason im getting the errors? or is there some other reason, and how can I resolve this as my app wont run as there are to many erorrs,

Actually you have to tell subsonic which code language to use for code generation. If you use subcommander you can add a /lang vb parameter to the command line. If you use the build provider I am 95% certain subsonic will choose the right language to use by itself. One possible mistake you made is that, according to the docs: http://subsonicproject.com/docs/Setting_up_SubSonic_2.x the buildprovider section has to be inside a compilation tag:

<compilation debug="true" defaultLanguage="C#">
      <!--########################## SubSonic Build Provider ###############################-->
      <!--This will NOT WORK in Medium Trust-->
      <buildProviders>
        <add extension=".abp" type="SubSonic.BuildProvider, SubSonic"/>
      </buildProviders>

You should create one for yourself with

    <compilation debug="true" defaultLanguage="VB">

Hi Everyone and thanks for your answers, however i tried all of these previously and couldnt get it to work, luckily i have now fixed the issue.

I did this by creating my own class vb class library, adding the reference system.web, system.configuration, subsonic.dll and associated dlls, i then added an app config with my connection string and service provider and then generated my classes, i then built the class as a dll.

I included the DLL inside my website bin folder and now everything compiles and works fine.

However this does now mean i have to reference my dal as kimDal.kimdata but hey it works so im please

Thanks to all
