Asp – <%@ MasterType TypeName="ggg.Web.Main" %>dll”. Illegal characters in path

asp.net

this is kinda wierd.

I have a couple projects:

ggg.Web (main WAP project)

ggg.Web.Controls (Plain C# project that holds any custom controls .cs)

When I try to compile ggg.Web.Controls, I get this error:

<%@ MasterType TypeName="ggg.Web.Main" %>dll". Illegal characters in path.

It's referring to the project ggg.Web.Controls project but I've gone through every class and there is no <%@ MasterType TypeName="ggg.Web.Main" %> code in any of those classes.

Only in the ggg.Web .aspx pages do I have that kind of directive specified at the top of some of my .aspx pages. ggg.Web references and uses ggg.Web.Controls.

I've tried to clean my solution, close out VS….but still nothing. This is the only error coming up during compile.

Try closing all windows, restarting Visual Studio and see if the problem persist. If it does copy/paste the error from Output pane here.

Html – ASP.NET Control to HTML tag equivalent

This isn't a simple question, as it depends on which version of .NEt you're talking about and states of controls sometimes. For example, the PANEL, in 1 & 1.1 render to a TABLE while in later versions it's a DIV.

But overall (for 2/3), here goes:

Panel - Div
Panel -- GroupingText="###" is Fieldset, Legend
Label - Span
Button - Input, Type Button
Link Button - Href with JS Postback Script
Hyperlink - Standard HREF
Image Button - Input, Type Image
Textbox -- Default is Input, Type Text
Textbox -- Mode = Password is Input, type Password
Textbox -- Mode= Multiline is Textarea
DropDownList - Select
Listbox - Select
RadioButton - Input, Radio with GroupName
Checkbox - Input, Checkbox
Repeater/Listview --Complex.
Gridview - Table
Table - Table
File - Input, Type=File

That's the basics. The more esoteric controls such as the LOGIN control is a table with a bunch of odds an ends within it.

Javascript – ASP.Net Master Page and File path issues

You could use a ScriptManager:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    <Scripts>
        <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/jquery.js" />
    </Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>

EDIT: If you absolutely need this in your <head> section, you could do something like:

<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/jquery.js") %>"></script>
</head>

EDIT 2: According to the comments, if you are observing that

The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)

you may need to change the above to use the data-binding syntax:

<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="<%# Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/jquery.js") %>"></script>
</head>
