I found that I had set up my solution correctly, BUT since my company's servers are running .NET 2.0 the Repeatable Custom Content datatype was no functioning properly. Great datatype. Fits my needs PERFECTLY but I can't use it.
I was using this datatype to allow our editors to create a list of recommended sites, or a blogroll with images as the item that is linked. With the repeatable custom content, I had set it up so they gave a title, an internal link (they will all be internal) and a media picker. Don't know if this is easy to set up without that datatype. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You can run it on a server which only has .NET 2.0 installed if you copy the .NET 3.5 assemblies into the bin folder. .NET 3.5 is built on top of the same CLR as .NET 2.0, you can almost think of it as a super-set of .NET 2.0 components.
I've built sites where the target environment was .NET 2.0 only, but wanted to use LINQ, extension methods, etc. Just set the .NET 3.5 assemblies 'Copy Local' property to true and they'll end up in your bin folder, so you can copy them up with the other files you want to copy up.
At the risk of sounding stupid, I'm not sure what you mean by this or how to do this. I'm using Visual Web Developer Express 2010 b2. Is this something that can be done in that?
That is a cool tip didnt know you could do that. Andrew I emailed Masood the owner of repeatable custom datatype the other day he was going to send me the source so I could do a 2.0 build think I need to ping him again!
Repeatable Custom Datatype is perfect...just not in .NET 2.0
Hellooo,
I started this topic over in the XSLT forum and now that I have found some answers I feel it is better suited to be here.
