Adding ASPX directives on Page Layout

acezone

Hi All,

I have a situation where based on the mockup (code file), we need to append below code on specific page:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register src="~/controls/ProductsByCategoryAndSubcategory.ascx" TagName="productsbycat" TagPrefix="ucproducts" %>
<%@ Register src="~/controls/leftnav2.ascx" tagname="leftnav2" tagprefix="ucleftnav2" %>

As mentioned in above snippet, "~" is mapped to the root folder of the web server and respective .ascx will then renders the content on the .page file. As per the business need this .page file shall be deployed to web server to preview the data, whereas all the necessary components will be placed before creation of .page file.

Now the route I opt, is to create a new page layout (XSL) and define these directive on it, update the pagetype_config.xml file and run "build.bat" to make the layout available for use. But as I have done this, on creating a .page and placing the components, on preview, I receive "The system has encountered an internal error."

As this is going to be the only .page holding such directives, so question to all experts here, is it possible to do so (without using external components)?

If yes, then I would seek for your response on the same.

I haven't used SitePub with .NET yet, but it would be useful to see the cause of the error. Either post the details in the browser (if your IIS is configured to show them there) or post the relevant piece of your IIS logs.
