Dear Stefan

I am having difficulties to get the "Create Page" and "Resource Manager" dialogues to work on my new ASP.NET 2.0 templates

I get a "Object not set to an instance.." errors.

Have you successfully gotten these dialogues to work?

I found out myself, the "View as list" and "View as tree" listitems were declared at protected members but they were not tagged with runat=server.

Apparently that vas vaild in .NET 1.1 because they were child object of the DropDownList, but not in 2.0.

Just maske the following two classes, and make the ResourceGalleriesGrid.ascx and TemplateGalleriesBrowse.aspx enherit from them instead.

public class ResourceGalleriesGrid : Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebAuthor.ResourceGalleriesGrid
{
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.ViewAsList = GalleriesViewSelect.Items[0];
base.ViewAsTree = GalleriesViewSelect.Items[1];
base.OnInit(e);
}
}

public class TemplateGalleriesBrowse : Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebAuthor.TemplateGalleriesBrowse
{
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.ViewAsList = GalleriesViewSelect.Items[0];
base.ViewAsTree = GalleriesViewSelect.Items[1];
base.OnInit(e);
}

}

So how is this http module added to the config file? Can you post the line I need to make this work?

Here is the line that needs to be added:

<add type="StefanG.ASPNET20_HttpModule.ForceMCMScompatibility, ASPNET20_HttpModule" name="ForceMCMScompatibility"/>
