All I wanted was something simple: I would like to have an asp.net 2.0 application "qml" beneath my Community

Didn't see this article until today. Just wanted to say that I think it's a great and very useful post!

Hello, can you provide us an example solution, I have so many errors ... Thanks a lot

I get this error:

ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl).

Any help?

:)

What I really need is a tutorial to see how I can use UserControls from CS in this new Default.aspx within my site (under CS application).

Any ideas how to use them?

Thanks :)

solved it inheriting from CommunityServer.Components.CSPage

like this:

public partial class _Default : CommunityServer.Components.CSPage

{

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

   {

       CommunityServer.Components.User currentUser =   CommunityServer.Components.CSContext.Current.User;    

       Label1.Text = currentUser.Username;

   }

}

Breezback,

Thanks for sharing the solution. I will try it out.

Cool - just what I was after, also had the same error above, and inherited it like breezback said, but in vb: Partial Class Players Inherits CommunityServer.Components.CSPage

I got the following error (c:\inetpub\itatennis is the location of my virtual directory for my app). Any ideas? Directory 'c:\inetpub\itatennis\Languages' does not exist.

Hi Ben,

This error can be solved by copying the Languages directory from the CS application to the root of your application. In your case it would be 'c:\inetpub\itatennis\Languages'. If you are getting this error, you will probably need to copy the Themes directory from the CS application to the root of your application as well.

Tod, thanks for the prompt reply :) Now i have a new error: Community Server expects to find a valid XML file containing all of the links for a community. By default, this file is located at the root of the with the name SiteUrls.config. A common error is to included unescaped XML characters, such as "&" when defining a querystring. If available, the location of the error will be listed below: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. The type initializer for 'CommunityServer.Components.ApplicationSet' threw an exception. CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogApplication, CommunityServer.Blogs Would love to get my app running under cs asap.. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ok, figured out the answer to my post above - just needed to include CommunityServer.Blogs.dll...

Very useful A-1 Prime Time Tutorial from Tod Birdsall on Running ASP.NET applications under Community

Make sure you sync the connection settings from the /cs/Web.config with the new virtual directory Web.config (for connection settings). In the example above this would be myCS/Web.config -and- vicious/Web.config I also copied the LANGUAGES folder from the original folder (myCS/Languages) to the new virtual directory (viscious/Languages) for a lack of something better to do. It generated an error for Languages so I fixed it. I also removed all references from my project and re-referenced all of the DLL files in the BIN directory in myCS folder. (/cs/ for the rest of us).

Hi, Thanks for your article. I have some probelm when I followed your teaching. Actually It works when I test it on my local machine(XP). But it makes an error on the live server something like below. Exception information: Exception type: TargetInvocationException Exception message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. When I access the default.aspx file of application under CS, the error is "The page cannot be found " Thanks.

How to do this the other way? My application i in root, CS is a subfolder...

FAQ posts contain multiple subject items appropriate to this forum, and will evolve over time with new

I'm in the same situation as Rafael Furdzik. How do you have an application in root and cs in subfolder. I followed the steps : referenced the dlls, copied the config files (although I copied them to the root of my app, cs is in my "forums" folder). When I run this code on a page in the root folder (after logging in in CS) CommunityServer.Components.User csUser = CommunityServer.Components.CSContext.Current.User; csUser is an Anonymous user Thank you for your time

In the "how to" article, the newly integrated app is accessed by browsing "to the /vicious subdirectory that contains your Default.aspx page".    Do you know of any tutorials on how, for example, to actually integrate it into the site so that it a)has its own tab on the navigation bar and b)loads below the nav bar, not taking over the whole page?

Thanks for the great article. Any idea how to get this to work with the Atlas/Ajax controls? I can get everything to work as you describe and I can get an an Atlas/Ajax page working but as soon as I put the two together the ajax page does a full postback in the CS environment. I think it has to do with changing the line public partial class _default : CommunityServer.Components.CSPage to referr to the CS page vs the System.Web.UI.Page. Without the change though, as you know, it won't work at all. Thanks again, Will

Hi Will,

I have successfully used the Anthem.NET AJAX toolkit alongside Community Server.

http://anthemdotnet.com/

For my purposes, it worked well.

I have not done much with the "Atlas"/ ASP.NET AJAX framework.

I realized my mistake. I had not loaded the AjaxControlToolkit.dll into the "host" CS site's bin dir. I had left it in the bin dir of the "add-on site". I also needed to move all of the related refs from the "add-on's" web.config into the web.config of the CS "host" site. Thanks for the Anthem suggetion. Nice toolkit for sure. I wish I'd known about it while I was waiting around for Atlas/Ajax to be finalized.

Very useful A-1 Prime Time Tutorial from Tod Birdsall on Running ASP.NET applications under Community

i'm trying to incorporate this article into my site. Any chance you can show step 4 in VB as opposed to C#? Thanks.

I created a page using C#, but I get this error: The ConnectionString property has not been initialized Which is the same error I get via a VB page............any thought?

Here is a good reference for Running ASP.NET applications under Community Server that I didn't want to

Hi Tod!! I tried in my local system but could not got the result after copying the required directory from CS web directory to my application root folder it displays the CS home page instead of apllication defaukt.aspx page...

Hi Tod! I am stuck at the same point as Methendra. Maybe this has to do with the new CS version? Can anybody help me or point to a new source to solve this problem? Thank you very much, any help is highly appreciated.

Hey Tod, Great job man!! :)

Your tutorial really helped. The Q&A section on your page is great too... I resolved all the issues from your and readers' responses!!

Cheer!
