Hi,

I am busy building a small webpart and i have noticed that my code differs from the code in the manuel

your reference
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="MonoSoftware.MonoX.Samples.HelloWorld" Codebehind="HelloWorld.ascx.cs" %>
when i build a page it looks like this:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="MonoSoftware_MonoX_Samples_HelloWorld" CodeFile="HelloWorld.ascx.cs" %>

Note the Underscores from Inherit and the CodeBehind, sorry im not sure why this happens. Sorry it might be a very noob question.

Peter

Hi,

yes it is important to know which project type you have opened / created. There are two types of projects a "Web Site project" and "Web Application" (the one that MonoX uses - although you can use both in your custom solutions).

Here are some other useful resources:

Yes, you have to use the Web application instead of the Web site project. Although both approaches have similar names, Web site project type is something totally different (no project files, very long compilation times, speicalized folders for application classes, etc) and MonoX does not support it.

Yes im sitting here arguing with VS to get a custom portal setup so i can then add Web App Pages and webparts rather than the website solution options....
