    Default V9 Invalid Menu XML

    I am suddenly getting an error that I am not sure how to track down... I have tried pulling out any code changes I made, removing any extra files... etc and no luck

    ..and yes I know everybody says it ;) I don't "think" I made any changes to cause the error.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Make sure your /XmlPackages/page.menu.xml.config file is well formed and doesn't have any strange characters in it. You might have to replace it with the stock file, then gradually re-introduce any changes you've made to figure out what's causing it to break.

    I did what you asked to be sure and no change.... So for fun I created a new site using only the files from the 9.1.2 package but connecting to the same database as the old site.

    Same error. Could there be something in the database? An AppConfig etc?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    From the posted error, I saw "Source:App_Code.4y5epz3_ " which looks like a corrupt asp.net temp files. Could you try clearing out those files there (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Tem porary ASP.NET Files)?

    Figured it out...

    Setting a breakpoint in ASPDNSFSiteMapProvider.cs at line 228 (doc.LoadXml(menuXml) I was able to see more about the error - "Multiple Root Nodes"

    That info may be useful to you...

    The actual problem was having XmlPackage.DumpTransform set to True in the AppConfig.

    I discovered this when I went to my clean install and turned it on so I could peek at the XML and compare it to my broken site hoping to find a the Multiple Root Nodes.

    As soon as I set it to true my clean install site broke as well.

    This appears to happen on both 9.1.1 and 9.1.2 both clean install with demo database and upgraded install from 8.x

    Thanks for the help!

    I've just updated my dev site to the 9.1.3 code and I am getting the same error - a few different line numbers in the error though.

    This happens when setting XmlPackage.DumpTransform to true

    Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!

    It looks like one or 2 of the fixes we intended to include just didn't make this build. Contact Support and we'll see if we can get you an update.

    If it's the problem with setting XmlPackage.DumpTransform to true, that should be taken care of in the next release.

    If you're just getting the 'Invalid Menu Xml!!!' message without that AppConfig, then see my earlier reply - there's something wrong with your XML.
