Dear All,

Hope you can help me in the following problem:

I have an asp.net application, and for a newly developed page withen the application: the .aspx is running but the .aspx.vb does not run (no events are executed).
furhter i tried to delete the .aspx.vb file and nothing changed.
this means that there is no connection between the .aspx and the .aspx.vb file (maybe there is some error in the Dll file).


Hope its clear.
awaiting for your kind reply.

BR.

What development model are you using? Website or Web Application Project?
What does your pages @ Page directive look like?
What are you using to develop the pages?

Thank you Peter for your instant reply.

Actually, the thing is:

there is already a working website with some under construction pages on a server.

I am trying to edit one of these under construction pages on my PC (not the server), which will have a behind code (it didnt have behind code before).

On the PC I am working on the .net could not open the website as a solution for some reason, so I have edited the pages (files) independently, copy it to the server where the website is hosted and the server runs and compiles the website.

so maybe this is the problem for not accessing the .aspx.vb page?
or maybe the .aspx.resx caused the problem?

If this is a precompiled site, then simply posting the codebehind file won't work. The Page directive will likely have 'CodeBehind="somepage.aspx.vb"' in it. If you change that to 'CodeFile="somepage.aspx.vb"' then the page will load the codebehind file dynamically and use that. However, one caveat with this is that you might need to change the page's inherited class name. The codebehind file will contains a class that may also exist in an assembly. When the ASPX is parsed and processed, the runtime will try to load the class it inherits which it will find in two places (the dynamic assembly from the code file and the precompiled assembly) and it won't be able to work out the ambiguity. So you can simply rename the code behind class and the class name in the "inherits" attribute of the page directive. This is often how I implement page patches.

Dear Peter,

thank you for your reply,
I really appreciate your cooperation.

I was trying the solution you proposed and the follwoing parser error appears :
    The 'CodeFile' attribute is not supported by the 'page' directive


and when I tryed to rename the class, it cannot be loaded.

any suggestions?

You are using ASP.NET 2.0 right? "CodeFile" should work without a problem. That changes the behavior to force the runtime to dynamically compile the file referenced in the attribute value.

Dear Peter,

its working now i just was supposed to insert: Src="file_name.aspx.vb" :)

thank you very much for your help.

Yes, that works too. My point was that CodeFile should work in ASP.NET 2.0.
