Custom UserControl and Method calls

[jstansell]

Hello,

I have a custom control that is the header for all of my web pages. I now have a need to change the logo at the top of the control based on a database value. What I did was to put a call to my method in the .ascx page here is what it looks like

<img border="0" src='<%# GetClientLogo() %>' .......

Here is the GetClientLogo in the codebehind .vb file

Function GetClientLogo() As String

if bIsLogged then
return "../Images/" & sLogo
Else
return "../Images/cleardot.gif"
endif
end function


When this runs I do not get any error, but it does not work. I have put it into debug and I can catch the Page_Load sub fine, but can not catch anything in the GetClientLogo. Seems as if the code is never executed. Any help would be great!

Thanks

You cannot use ASP.NET as the old ASP!
ASP.NET does not support html and asp misture: it has a code and a html section well separated.

To do what you want you should create a asp.net webcontrol (in C# has .ascx extension, I dont' know in VB.NET) with your *visual* code (just like a windows control).

After you can do this
- At the top of your pages put something like

<%@ Register TagPrefix="myAspNamespace" TagName="myControlClass" Src="/shared/myControl.ascx" %>

- In the html body, where you want put the control:

<myAspNamespace:myControlClass id="myControl1" runat="server"></myAspNamespace:myControlClass>

It will do something similar to the old ASP #Include

Bye!
