Hi John I'm using some inline code in my skin for example <%= Response.Write("xxx!") %> It seems that Response.Write("xxx) isn't working in a DNN skin. In order to get an error message that tells me what went wrong I need to switch on the debugger. Within web.config I set <compilationdebug=true> and I also played with <%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" Debug="true" %> But I never get an error message. What do I need to do in order to use the debugger and why is <%= Response.Write("xxx!") %> not working? Thanks, Patrick

Hi Patrick, The <%= is a Response.write, so all you need is <% Response.Write("xxx") %> The Equal sign being the difference. Or you could put <%= xxx %> Getting an error message out of the user controls (.ascx -- skins, skinObjects, etc.) is kind of hard because DotNetNuke is loading them and trapping errors internally. To see the actual error you can look in your log viewer. You can also use Nik's solution http://www.devtao.com/2005/02/25/Speerio+My+Modules+VSNet+Solution+For+DotNetNuke.aspx

Hi John Thank you for the correction of <% Response.Write("xxx") %> and the for the tip to have a look in the log-File to see the error message. I'm using now the PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName property from your Blog in my skin: <%=iif (PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName = "Kontakt", "_active", "") %> and its working fine Patrick
