Broken PageMenu control reference

This may just be my Visual Studio ignorance, but I have a custom feature (that inherits SiteModuleControl) with a <portal:PageMenu> control and it has been working fine until today. Suddenly, the designer file has decided to start using System.Web.UI.UserControl as the type. If I change it back manually, it's fine until I edit the ascx file and it changes again. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

John

Re: Broken PageMenu control reference

Hi John,

I occasionally run into this issue with the VS designer, not sure what the cause is. In one place where I could not get it to stop changing the reference back to UserControl, what I did was cast the UserControl as the more specific type from code before using it.

However, I will say using PageMenu in a SiteModuleControl rather than in layout.master is not an anticipated use, if it works great, but it was intended to be used only in layout.master and that is the only scenario where I test it.

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe. I guess it's some consolation to know I'm not the only one this happens to.
