    Default embed topic in aspx page

    question about the instructions on this page of manual:

    http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.com/p-853-topics.aspx

    specifically this instruction:
    Embedding in a .aspx page in this format: <aspdnsf:Topic ID="IDName" runat="server" TopicName="TopicName" />
    where do I find the Topic IDName?

    The ID doesn't make any difference, you can put anything you like in that part of the code that is descriptive of what the topic is. That can be used in later parts of the code if you like, to reference that topic, but it really makes no difference what you put there, the software will look up the topic by the "TopicName" value.

    Angry Finally getting around to testing this - still doesn't work

    I created an aspx file called B001.aspx which sits at http://www.beadaholique.com/skins/Sk...ects/B001.aspx

    The file is just:
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Print Friendly</title>
</head>
<body>
<aspdnsf:Topic ID="print" runat="server" TopicName="ba-project-B001" /> 
</body>
</html>
    I also tried simply:
    Code:
    <aspdnsf:Topic ID="print" runat="server" TopicName="ba-project-B001" />
    Neither works - I keep getting an error page. What am I doing wrong?

    It needs to be in the root of your website. It also needs to have a code-behind file b001.aspx.cs or b001.aspx.vb and there needs to be other "stuff" in the files to make them work.

    Look at your shoppingcart.aspx and shoppingcart.aspx.cs (or .vb) files to see the relationships.

    Having said that, what's wrong with creating a topic?
