Hi zykes, and welcome to our.

From the post you have posted your Umbraco installation is set to run MVC. You can change it if you have access to the file system.

If you find the ~/config/umbracoSettings.config. in the file seach for:

<defaultRenderingEngine>Mvc</defaultRenderingEngine>

You can find the documentation here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Templating/Mvc/ in the beginning for the page.

And then change the Mvc value to WebForms. After you have change the value to WebForms in the config file, maybe is necessary to recyle the app pool to make the change takes effect.

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Allan,

I tried to check but I can't see it.

Any other portions where I can check?

Thanks.

Hi Zykes

How did you try to do it? As Dennis writes you should go to the /config/umbracoSettings.config file and find the

However you should be aware that changing the template engine from MVC to Webforms may not be a good idea if your site is already running using MVC templates and functionality. Is this a site that you have been developing on for a long time or have you taken over from other people? And is there any specific reason why you want to use webforms or did you just get surprised to see it was creating a view template (MVC) rather than a master template(Webforms)?

Hi Zykes

Ok, I get why you're confused since the value we're referring to is not present in your file for some reason. Perhaps some of the old developers removed the setting to make sure that people would not change from MVC to webforms.

However that seems a bit odd since MVC is not default in 4.11. It's default in 7...

But since it's running MVC already I think it's probably best to keep it that way.
