Debugging ascx pages

HI,

I am working with the dnn gallery which consists of a number of ascx pages and vb code behind pages. I want to debug the gallery as a standalone application without first uploading to dotnetnuke as doing this removes the code behind files. How would I do this? Would I set up a button in an aspx page and call the gallery methods in the button click event? Not quite sure how to do this.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Yes I would make a test aspx page on your local machine and implement your custom control on that, in order to test.

so do I just add an aspx page to the solution?

REA_ANDREW

yes

Add the aspx page.

you need the line right at the top of the page to register your custom tag and implement it. like so:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="ARDesigns" TagName="ICaptcha" Src="CAPTCHA.ascx" %>

then use your tag, here is an example of a web control I made:

<ARDesigns:ICaptcha ID="Secure1" runat="server" />
