Thread: Simple product output?

I have created a sample page Sample.aspx, now i want to print products which are saved in the database, must i use XmlPackages or is there an another way to print a test product?


When i use a XmlPackage in my site like this:
<aspdnsf:XmlPackage id="Package1" PackageName="rev.manufacturers.xml.config" runat="server" />

Then i get an error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Line 60: using (XmlPackage2 m_P = new XmlPackage2(PackageName, ThisCustomer, ThisCustomer.SkinID, String.Empty, RuntimeParams, String.Empty, true))

Source File: c:\DEV_Main\AspDotNetStorefront\Web\XmlPackageCont rol.ascx.cs Line: 60

My Page is in the same directory like the other pages, whats the problem??

Does your Sample.aspx code-behind page inherit from the SkinBase class? You must inherit from this class in order to use the XmlPackage engine.

Yes it inherit from SkinBase:

Code:

public partial class test : SkinBase

I copied the default.aspx and renamed it to test.aspx, all codebehind exist from the page.

ASPX:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="c#" Inherits="AspDotNetStorefront.test" CodeFile="test.aspx.cs" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="aspdnsf" TagName="XmlPackage" src="XmlPackageControl.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="aspdnsf" TagName="Topic" Src="TopicControl.ascx" %>

       
<form>

<aspdnsf:Topic ID="IDName" runat="server" TopicName="about" /> 
 <aspdnsf:Topic runat="server" ID="HeaderMsg" TopicName="CartPageHeader" />
<aspdnsf:XmlPackage id="Packasdfsdge1" PackageName="rev.manufacturers.xml.config" runat="server" />

</form>

Where is the bug ?

The null error is in the XmlPackageControl.ascx, the variable ThisCustomer is null, thats why i get that error.
Can you help me to solve this problem, i copied the same content from the bestsellers.aspx which is function, but in my page test.aspx i get these errror.
My class is inherited from SkinBase.

Make sure you have Packasdfsdge1.SetContext = this; on the page load event.
