Helo Web - Part 2 User Control not appearing (no build errors)

Hi,

I've been working through the Developer Tutorials and seem to have hit a snag on "Dev Series 5 Hello Web Part 2", When I try to run the site and create a page with the Hello Web control it's not being displayed. I'm not even getting a yellow screen of death and the code isn't stopping at breakpoints.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Windows 2008 R2, using mojoportal_32d2e320df08 Source using the MSSQL file as detailed in the tutorial.

Has anyone encountered this type of issue before or is it just me?

Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks

Bert.

Re: Helo Web - Part 2 User Control not appearing (no build errors)

Whenever this has happened to me, it's been in cases where I had an error in my ascx/aspx file. Typically, I'll forget a closing </portal> or </panel> tag somewhere. When that happens, the feature is excluded from the page, and it can be difficult to troubleshoot (as you're finding). I'm actually not sure exactly where (or even whether) you can find an error for that condition. So when a new custom feature is not being included on a page, I go back through my form and look for mismatched tags. Fixing those has solved this every time for me.

I hope that helps.

Jamie

Re: Helo Web - Part 2 User Control not appearing (no build errors)

Can't find any missing tags, here's the ascx page, I used Codesmith and added all the references so I'm a little bewildered. Haven't altered other pages in the project.

The control builds and is copied to Web\GuestBook\HelloWeb.ascx and the dll to the bin folder.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="HelloWeb.ascx.cs" Inherits="acme.Web.UI.GuestBook.HelloWeb" %>

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="HelloWeb.ascx.cs" Inherits="acme.Web.UI.HelloWebModule" %>

<portal:OuterWrapperPanel ID="pnlOuterWrap" runat="server">
    <mp:CornerRounderTop id="ctop1" runat="server" />
    <portal:InnerWrapperPanel ID="pnlInnerWrap" runat="server" CssClass="panelwrapper HelloWebmodule">
        <portal:ModuleTitleControl EditText="Edit" EditUrl="~/HelloWebmodule/HelloWebmoduleEdit.aspx"
         runat="server" id="TitleControl" />
        <portal:OuterBodyPanel ID="pnlOuterBody" runat="server">
            <portal:InnerBodyPanel ID="pnlInnerBody" runat="server" CssClass="modulecontent">
                <div class="settingrow">
                        This will soon be the entry point to the HelloWebmodule.<br />
                </div>
            </portal:InnerBodyPanel>
        </portal:OuterBodyPanel>
        <portal:EmptyPanel id="divCleared" runat="server" CssClass="cleared" SkinID="cleared"></portal:EmptyPanel>
    </portal:InnerWrapperPanel>
    <mp:CornerRounderBottom id="cbottom1" runat="server" />
</portal:OuterWrapperPanel>

ignore the top <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="HelloWeb.ascx.cs" Inherits="acme.Web.UI.GuestBook.HelloWeb" %> I had started building it from scratch.
