Frontpage control

Re: Frontpage control

aspx is an entirely different mechanism.. I don't believe you could run FP
controls on an aspx page - besides, ASP.NET needs to be compiled if you have
any script behind it.. this is sort of all or nothing - you run FP scripts
in an html file - or you do everything in ASP.NET

Re: Frontpage control

may be if you add the runat="server" property to the control might do it

Re: Frontpage control

Sorry. The counter needs to be ruyn through the FrontPage server extensions.
ASP.Net pages are processed by a different ISAPI.

Re: Frontpage control

I understand that code-behinds need to be compiled, but
you can put code snippets in the HTML (similar to classic
ASP) and it can compile JIT.

Re: Frontpage control

No, the counter runs through a CGI-style program
(specifically, _vti_bin/fpcount.exe). That link remains
intact, and should still work.

FYI, the page works fine if the extension is ASP. If it
was a matter of ISAPI engines, this would break it as
well.

Re: Frontpage control

No, the runat="server" attribute tells the ASP.Net ISAPI
engine to process the control before it's sent to the
client. In this case, the counter is a CGI-style
program. The link must be processed by the client into a
sub-request (much as a graphic would be), and the counter
program returns the graphical counter display back.

Re: Frontpage control

It just really seems you are barking up the wrong tree here. What's the
signifigance of changing the filename to .aspx? In the time it would take to
troubleshoot some wacky Frontpage macro problem - you could write an ASP.NET
counter.

Why are you trying to convert half of the app to aspx?

Re: Frontpage control

It's not a matter of converting "half the app". This is
a website that I have inherited from a predecessor, which
is 99% static content. I am "dipping my toe" into adding
some ASP.Net content to a page, but don't want to
overhaul the page just yet. Eventually, the page will
certainly be rewritten, and the counter will become
a .Net control, but I wasn't aiming at "fixing" something
that's "not broke"--at least not yet.
