The relative virtual path '.' is not allowed here

Hello

I am just testing this control and having followed the instructions i get the error:

The relative virtual path '.' is not allowed here

Anyone know what is causing this?

Cheers.

Please make sure that you put the whole FileVistaControl subfolder under your project's root folder and that you refer to the control with path "~/FileVistaControl/filevista.ascx" in web.config like this line:

    <add tagPrefix="GleamTech" tagName="FileVistaControl" src="~/FileVistaControl/filevista.ascx"/>

Still getting this error, have checked the web.config and all okay

Can you reproduce the error with the example project?

Hi,

I'm getting the same error. I'm developing in VB so I had to transalte the C# code, maybe I made a mistake there. Hopefully you can help me:

I copied the folder (in Windows) to my root folder and made edits in web.config. When I use example1 style it works, but example2 style doesn't:


         Dim MyFileVistaControl As FileVistaControl
        Dim MyRootFolder As FileVistaRootFolder



        MyFileVistaControl = New FileVistaControl
        MyFileVistaControl.LoadControl("~/FileVistaControl/filevista.ascx")
        MyFileVistaControl.LicenseKey = "temp"
        MyFileVistaControl.Style = "width: 600px;"

        MyRootFolder = New FileVistaRootFolder("31254", "/")
        MyRootFolder.Permissions = FileVistaPermissions.Traverse
        MyFileVistaControl.RootFolders.Add(MyRootFolder)
        FileVistaHolder.Controls.Add(MyFileVistaControl)

Any word yet on this?  I'm running into exactly the same thing using VB.Net with Example 2.

Hi,

I've solved it! I had to change one line:

MyFileVistaControl = MyFileVistaControl.LoadControl("~/FileVistaControl/filevista.ascx")

Only this way I load the control into my own defined control named MyFileVistaControl.

Hopefully it helps others

Greetings,

Thanks Bastiaan, that fixed my problem also.
