           Summary: Precompiled website with themes causes 'virtualPath'

Running a precompiled website with an App_Themes folder causes a NullException
for parameter 'virtualPath' when browsing to any page in the site. The site was
written in VB.NET.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new website project in VS.NET (just default.aspx page is ok).
2. Add a theme (do not need to create any theme files e.g css).
3. Precompile site using 'aspnet_compiler'.
4. Run site under XSP and browse to 'Default.aspx'.
Actual Results:  
Following error message:

Argument cannot be null. Parameter name: virtualPath

Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

Stack Trace:

System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: virtualPath

Version information: Mono Version: 2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:
2.0.50727.1433

Expected Results:  
Default.aspx page displays normally.

This bug appears to be occurring because the .compiled file that is created for
the Theme (e.g Theme_Theme1.compiled) has a 'virtualPath' attribute in the
'preserve' node of '/App_Themes/Theme1/'. It also has a 'resultType' of '3'.
This means that in the System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.LoadPrecompiled
method (called by System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.LoadPrecompilationInfo)
this compiled file is passed to
System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.LoadPageData which extracts the virtualPath
and this is in turn later processed by
System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.FixVirtualPaths. The trailing '/' means
this method ultimately passes an empty string to
System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.IsAbsolute which results in the null exception
(StrUtils.IsNullOrEmpty(virtualPath)).

I resolved this on my system by adding the following method to
System.Web.VirtualPathUtility:

public static bool IsThemeDirectory (string virtualPath)
        {
            string checkPath = ToAppRelative(virtualPath);
            return (checkPath.StartsWith("~/App_Themes/",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) ||
(checkPath.StartsWith("/App_Themes/",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)));
        }

I also then modified System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.LoadPageData as
follows to call this method:

static void LoadPageData (XmlTextReader reader)
        {
            PreCompilationData pc_data = new PreCompilationData ();

            while (reader.MoveToNextAttribute ()) {
                string name = reader.Name;
                if (name == "virtualPath")
                    if (!VirtualPathUtility.IsThemeDirectory(reader.Value))
                    {
                        pc_data.VirtualPath = reader.Value;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        return;
                    }
                else if (name == "assembly")
                    pc_data.AssemblyFileName = reader.Value;
                else if (name == "type")
                    pc_data.TypeName = reader.Value;
            }
            if (precompiled == null)
                precompiled = new Dictionary<string, PreCompilationData>
(comparer);
            precompiled.Add (pc_data.VirtualPath, pc_data);
        }

This resolved the issue when using XSP2 or mod_mono.
