Adobe Contribute & ASP.NET 2.0 Master Pages

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hello!

I have a problem with getting Adobe Contribute to view the content of the
master.page file. I have done a fair amount of research into why and have
come up with the fact that Adobe Contribute CS3 was released before ASP.NET
2.0 and therefore wouldn't have known about master pages or even how to
handle them.

Therefore I believe it to be acceptable if the page content (contained in
the content place holder in each aspx page) was stylised with at least the
external CSS file. Many attempts to get this to work have failed and
anything that is a complete frig (such as putting <html><head><link ....CSS
call /></head><body></body></html> at the top of the content place holder)
to make it believe that the external style sheet is declared in the <head>
tags is just not acceptable as it will have an impact on Google and SEO in
general..

One solution I've thought of is to make an FTP login to a private directory
on my web server and have Adobe Contribute edit those pages and for the
online script to check (with some VB or C#) the last edited timestamp of its
counterpart page in the private FTP directory and then to pull the edited
content out and into the VB's ASPX file.

Has anyone any tips or advice? I'm looking for an easy way out if there is
one :oP

Thanks to anyone that helps out!

Cheers,
John

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net bears
very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be lucky enough to
find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a group where
those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.

Cheers Bob, I should have looked with my eyes open :oP

I've posted this in the ASP.NET channel you suggested.

Thanks for your reply!
