ASP Menu appears as links

AlexW · April 19th, 2011, 08:03 AM

I used the default ASP.NET menu that is present when you start a new Web Site project and just modified colours in CSS. While viewing online it changes to simple links?

Hosting support said I was using .axd files for the menu and because it was running in faster integrated pipeline mode, advised adding this to web.config:

<handlers>
<add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD"
path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler,
System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</handlers>

- but this hasnt fixed it, I have tried browsing with IE, Firefox, Safari, & Chrome.

Anyone have any ideas? www.golfingnetwork.co.uk

Hi Alex,

That version number doesn't look right to me. Looks like an earlier number of the web extensions.

Are you sure they configured the site for ASP.NET 4 correctly? Is there an on-line version I can look at?

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imar,

Yes its at www.golfingnetwork.co.uk, their hosting package says ASP.NET 4: http://www.webwiz.co.uk/web-hosting/...eb-hosting.htm.

Its just the standard menu with the colours changed in ~/Styles/Site.css.

Can you post the code for the web.config at the hosting server (make sure you remove stuff like passwords).

Cheers,

Imar

You seem to be missing the targetFramework:

Code:

<compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0" />

To see what else might be missing, choose File | New Web Site in VS 2010 and then compare the resulting web.config with yours.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar,

After adding targetFramework="4.0" so my line is:

<compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>

it errors saying:

Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'

Then your host hasn't configured your site in IIS for .NET 4. You'll need to work with them (or use a Control Panel if they have one) to properly configure it.

Cheers,

Imar

AlexW · April 20th, 2011, 02:04 PM

Do'h! The site was set to 2.0 in the control panel. Thanks for the help.
