Ch. 7 Navigation issuees with code

jmbell · January 6th, 2014, 07:18 PM

I am just posting 2 issues I had with this chapter, so that they may help someone else.

1. Once I added the navigation from page 267. I could not get my links to work. What I did wrong was that I put the default.aspx, logon.aspx and the folder About and Review under the Demo folder. These belong under the SITE folder. See page 229.

I somehow missed this up to this point. Once I moved the folders to the SITE. All was good.

2. I had issues with the page line in the .aspx files ... I was getting context errors. My program listed page .... inherts="Demos_Temporary" instead of inherits="Demos_About_Default" for the About/default.aspx.

I am not quite sure why, but it wants the Demos folder name, even though it is now at the root directory. - Perhaps, this will help someone else, with similar issues.

Sounds like your template wasn't set up correctly? The Temporary part should have been replaced with the actual name when you create a page based on the custom template.

This is because the class in the Code Behind isn't updated when you move files, and thus its name still reflects the initial folder you created the file in.
