When you converted the Web site to a web application did you check that the partial classes were correctly generated for your aspx files (e.g. There should be a file called "Default.aspx.cs. Designer" in your web application, under the Default. Aspx and Default.aspx.cs files).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
