Hi,

I'm developing custom widget for Sitefinity 4.1 and I follow the documentation. Somehow I encountered this error

Server Error in '/' Application.

Cannot find template "~/SFERegistration/ERegistrationModule.Resources.Views.EventItemList.ascx".

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Cannot find template "~/SFERegistration/ERegistrationModule.Resources.Views.EventItemList.ascx".

Source Error:

            web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the

I've changed the template path in my widget,

private const string layoutTemplateName = "ERegistrationModule.Resources.Views.EventItemList.ascx";

protected override string LayoutTemplateName

get return null;

public override string LayoutTemplatePath

get

var path = ERegistrationModule.ERegistrationVirtualPath + layoutTemplateName;

return path;

set

base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;

I've also set the virtual path in my module class

public static string ERegistrationVirtualPath = "~/SFERegistration/";

public override void Install(SiteInitializer initializer)

base.Install(initializer);

InstallCustomVirtualPaths(initializer);

private void InstallCustomVirtualPaths(SiteInitializer initialzer)

var virtualPathConfig = initialzer.Context.GetConfig<VirtualPathSettingsConfig>();

var moduleVirtualPathConfig = new VirtualPathElement(virtualPathConfig.VirtualPaths)

VirtualPath = ERegistrationModule.ERegistrationVirtualPath + "*",

ResolverName = "EmbeddedResourceResolver",

ResourceLocation = "ERegistrationModule"

;

if (!virtualPathConfig.VirtualPaths.ContainsKey(ERegistrationModule.ERegistrationVirtualPath + "*"))

virtualPathConfig.VirtualPaths.Add(moduleVirtualPathConfig);

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Anton

Hi Anton,

1. Check whether the VirtualPathSettingsConfig is updated through the configurations ( Administration>> Settings >> Advanced;)

2. Make sure that your template is built as an embedded resource

3.ResourceLocation is set correctly. Generally is set to the name of the class library like in the default modules Telerik.Sitefinity.Resources

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for you reply.

I've checked the virtual path and my path is registered (~/SFERegistration/*).
The build action of my .ascx is also already set to Embedded Resource, and my ResourceLocation is set to my class library name (ERegistrationModule).
Btw, I didn't create resource class as in documentation because I don't think that my module will be localized,
so I don't set all the "ResourceClassId" properties. Does this cause the error?
So far it works in backend.

Any other suggestion?

Regards,

Anton

The problem is resolved now. Apparently I put the widget's class (EventItemList) in the same folder as its view (EventItemList.ascx) and they have the same name & namespace, then EmbeddedResourceResolver can't find the .ascx.

Regards,

Anton
