Hi,
the html files are only snippets. On the 'static' side of my page I use
apache severside includes to pull in standard meta tags, menu and
footer(all pages thus have the same look), and wanted to do the same
with the mono pages.
I stumbled over the WriteFile and in vs.net it opened the file relative
to the application directory. One override of the Render method and the
job was done. (No finding out what the application directory is,
changing directories, openeing and reading in the file, ...)
Unfortunatey mono diverges from the ms implementation here, both in the
assumed path and the excution time of the render method, which means the
I will most likely have to go the way of the literal control to be able
to reuse my html snippets.
Are these divergences to be considered bugs. should I file reports for
them?
regards
charlie
