Hello,

I'm following along and having a problem with the template export piece. I created the Temporary.aspx file and changed the class name and the inherits piece in the markup view to:

$relurlnamespace$_$safeitemname$


After I export the template per the instructions and then try to create a new page using the new template, I see this in the code behind and in the inherits area of the new page:

$relurlnamespace$_TestPage


Is there a reason $relurlnamespace$ isn't getting replaced correctly? I also checked the Template Parameters page on MSDN for Visual Studio 2012 and I don't see a parameter called $relurlnamespace$. I've tried some of the others listed on that MSDN page, but they don't work either.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

That's odd. A few things:

1. Did you create a Web Site (File | New Web Site rather than File | New Project)

2. Did you copy / enter the exactly as shown in the book?

3. Do the templates in the Resources\Chapter 06 folder of the code download for the book work for you?

4. Did you create the template for the correct programming language?

Cheers,

Imar
