Warning!
Make sure you download the updated version of the code (the BDSWebExample demo application). The new version has more meaningful names for Web pages, the code is cleaned up from using "Free" (since there is no need to free objects in .Net - the garbage collector does the job for you) and some "defects". The database has not changed.
Also, to follow up with the chapters it would be best if you save the project under "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\BDSWebExample"!
