[Mono-list] Mapping across application not allowed?

[Carl Olsen]

Hi Chris,

That's exactly the same thing I'm doing.  I have a "SiteFooter.ascx" file in
a folder "/Controls/" which I call from files in my root folder "/" and
files in my "/Modules/Legislators/" folder.  However, when I place another
file called "LegisMenu.aspx" in my "/Controls" folder and call it from a
page in the "/Modules/Legislators" folder without calling it from a page in
my root folder "/" it will not run correctly using Mono.  If I put the
control in my "/Modules/Legislators" folder, it works just fine.

Calling the control from a file in the root folder apparently sets some kind
of mapping in Mono that is required to use the control in any of the
subfolders.  I don't have a problem with this, but it is different than the
behavior with a Windows 2003 server using IIS 6.  With Windows, I can place
the control in any subfolder and call it from any other subfolder.  I'm just
trying to confirm that this is actually the case, and you example seems to
verify it.

It looks like "Mapping across application not allowed" means calling a
control from one subfolder in another subfolder without calling it from a
page in the root folder first.  Can anyone verify this behavior?

Thank you!

I have a user control (a footer, with a copyright statement [1]) in
/a/ssi/footer.ascx
***Note / is my webroot***

I have pages in "/" and also in "/working/" that happily call the footer,
using [2].

[1]:
<div id="footer">
        <h6>Copyright &copy; HostMono 2005</h6>
</div>

[2]:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="UserControl" TagName="Footer"
Src="/a/ssi/footer.ascx" %>

<UserControl:Footer id="myFooter" runat="Server" />
