Kim,
I tried to convert the project to a web application. However there are lots of bugs to fix before getting it running. Maybe the most anoying part is the fact that there are duplicate class names. Basically classes that were copy&pasted and small stuff changed in them.
This works ok in a web site but not in a web application where they all get compiled in an assemby so name conflicts generate errors.
Some examples:
1.
BVModules_ContentBlocks_Product_Rotator_editor (and _view)
- ContentBlocks\Featured Product\editor.ascx
- ContentBlocks\Product Rotator\editor.ascx
2.
The Flash Image Rotator also had a name conflict but I don't remember the conflicting class as I fixed that last night ;)
3.
BVAdmin: BVModules_Controls_CategoryBreadCrumbTrail
BVModules: BVModules_Controls_CategoryBreadCrumbTrail
4.
Last Products View
BVModules_ContentBlocks_Product_Grid_editor
And so on.
Another even more anoying problem I find is accessing HTML elements from code.
I noticed in several places declarations like <a runat="server" id="lnkChoose">.
I think this is wrong. It should be <asp:HyperLink runtat="server" ...>
Also the WebApplication project did not like it and I had to fix this in several locations. Same for <img runat="server"
I worked about 12h already and I still have more than 100 errors. I think I'll give up and HOPE that Marcus and his team will get all these things fixed.
