Hi

I've tried running the Portable Area sample but an error (listed
below) is raised when clicking the "Log On" link. After a bit of
searching my best guess is that the use of a generic type is tripping
up the parser. Using a code behind file looks to resolve the issue. Is
this a known issue with the beta or have I not setup my development
environment correctly?

Thanks

This is a bit of a pain point. You need to create a Areas folder in your application and copy the web.config from your views folder into the areas folder. I have an idea of how to overcome this in the future but this is required in order to make this work.

Thanks,

Eric

Actuall, that is exactly what I am thinking of doing. I already have the VPP that is searching for the portable area views and the input builder views. I just need to add some startup configuration to tell the VPP where to look for the web.config if one is needed. I am thinking of doing this for both the Areas/web.config and the Views/web.config. That way if you are using the MvcContrib viewengine there are less files that you need to maintain in your application.

Is it possible for a VirtualPathProvider to supply a web.config? I tried unsuccessfully to alter the parser filter programatically but it would be great to provide a web.config as a virtual file.

I am thinking of adding the embedded file into mvccontrib and letting the virtual path provider supply the web.config, when one does not exist.

Hi Eric

It works a treat! Do you perhaps have any notes on overcoming this
limitation?

Thanks
