Hi,

I have a project that uses an ASPX page (embeding some ASP.NET component), which I need to load into an AspPageBox control

All works ok if I use this in main application project (I have the ASPX page physically in app's root folder, and in AspPageBox I just set

this.Path = "myAspxpage.aspx"

But I want to use that into a library. So the aspx page and AsppageBox are both in the library.

If I set the ASPX page as Content, it is not copied onto main app's  web folder on build.

Also, if I set it to "Copy to output directory" it gets copied to bin, where is of no use

I could set it as Embeded resource, but how to set its URL to the AspPageBox's path property?

Please, any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Hi again,

If this was a simple resource file, like an image or something like that, then it would be possible to access it as an embedded resource as you can see in a sample code in the code snippet section here.

But I think .aspx pages are no simple resource files, as they need to be interpreted by the web server and then there are the code behind files etc.

I think it would be a good idea to have Gizmox's comments here, if this would be possible.

Hi,

I did some testing with using embedded resources within UserControls in another project that is referenced from the main application. I used the info from the article I referenced before and tried with a PictureBox imbedded within the usercontrol from the other library. That worked, just the same way as the example does.

Assigning PictureBox.Image = New AssemblyResourceHandle(Me.GetType(), "WebGUIControlLibrary1.2.GIF") gives me, as viewed in FireFox's FireBug, the address "Assemblies.WebGUIControlLibrary1.2.GIF.wgx?assembly=WebGUIControlLibrary1" for the image source.

Assuming the same for the AspPageBox.Path = New AssemblyResourceHandle(Me.GetType(), "WebGUIControlLibrary1.WebForm1.aspx").ToString() gives me "Assemblies.WebGUIControlLibrary1.WebForm1.aspx.wgx?assembly=WebGUIControlLibrary1"

That, however, in AspPageBox gives an error at runtime, that it is not a valid virtual path.

And yes, we will just wait for Gizmox with further info.
