Why won't my application show up?

Q: I have created a custom ASCX application and registered it in the Embedded Applications. I have then registered it on a page, but when I load the page it does not show up. What am I doing wrong.

A: This may be caused by several things. Be sure to check the following:

  • An ASCX control must run without any errors outside of QuantumCMS to run inside of QuantumCMS. Make sure the application has no errors and compliles properly.
  • An ASCX control MUST inherit from the EmbeddedApplicationBase class to run inside of QuantumCMS.
  • The .DLL for the ASCX must be located in the \BIN directory of the QCMS site. Make sure you have copied it there.
  • If you changed the name of the Class in the .VB or .CS file or you have changes the namespace of the class, make sure that you have updated the INHERITS property on the @Control in the ASCX page to match the new inheritance.
  • If your application has visual components, you must have the application entry point placeholder for the application in you stylesheet or page body. If you do not, it will not show up.
  • Make sure that the path to your application in the Embedded Applications list is correct.
  • If all else fails, check the MessageLog table to see if QCMS reports any errors.
