IE Treeview Problem [Resolved]

[mendhak]

I'll try to explain this problem as clearly as possible.

I have a machine, we'll call it the DEVELOPMENT machine. The other machine, on which it's supposed to be deployed, DEPLOYMENT machine.

Now, on the DEVELOPMENT machine, I am using the IE Treeview control in my project for the left menu. It renders fine, no problems there.

When I deploy to DEPLOYMENT though, the entire project renders fine, except for that treeview. Instead of seeing the treeview as I created it, I see just the text.

I thought that it might be an IE problem, so I tried accessing the DEVELOPMENT machine's web application from DEPLOYMENT. It shows up fine. I tried accessing the DEPLOYMENT machine's app from DEVELOPMENT, and it still shows up as text.

This means that it's a problem with either the DLLs I'm using or perhaps the IIS server itself.

Are there certain conditions under which the IE treeview will render properly? What settings do I have to look for? If you have any input to offer on this, it would be of tremendous help.

You can have a look at the IE treeview control in action here:

(And it even renders in firefox )

The link for the IE Treeview control is here:

Amazing... absolutely amazing.

The problem was this:

With the IE Treeview control, you get a set of HTC files (so that it can be rendered). Now, these HTC files need to be included in a very specific path.

This specific path is hardcoded into the DLL when YOU build the DLL!

So all I had to do was rebuild the dll with the path I wanted, then include the new dll in my bin folder and the HTC files according to that now hardcoded path.

Problem solved...
