Re: Use inline code in layout.master

Just create a UserControl with inline code and then include the UserControl in layout.master, you cannot do it directly in layout.master because it has a code behind file.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Use inline code in layout.master

There are no inline UserControls included in mojoPortal, but you can use the hello world example to get started.

Then you register the control in your layout.master file.

Re: Use inline code in layout.master

Can I create a UserControls even if I didn't use mojoPortal source code to install it?

Yes, with an inline code user control, you can just drop it in and it works. With codebehind version you have to compile it into a dll which goes into the /bin folder.

Hope it helps,

Re: Use inline code in layout.master

Hi Joe,
Sorry but I'm not so good with UserControl!!

I tryied this:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.Response.Write("<img src='Data/Sites/1/skins/Myfolder/img/Carto.jpg' width='245' height='62' />");
}

</script>

and it runs, but If I do this

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if WebUser.IsInRoles("Admins;Cartography administrators;")
{
this.Response.Write("<img src='Data/Sites/1/skins/Myfolder/img/Carto.jpg' width='245' height='62' />");
}
}

</script>

I have an error:
We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request.
...

Re: Use inline code in layout.master

In ASP.NET using Response.Write is almost always the wrong thing to do. Get the Classic ASP out of your mind.

Just put an <asp:Image or event a plain <img id="imgToShow" runat="server"

Then just hide it like this if the user is not in the role:

imgToShow.Visible = false;

Hope it helps,

Joe
