Are Master Pages supported?

Paul123

I have created a master page but the page just displays the source opposed to the actual page (see Quoted). I know the master page is correct because it displays correctly under IIS.
Any help appreciated.

Doh! I didn't set the virtual path in ASP.NET parameters!
I am now getting another error though, well two actually. One of my content pages, within the master page contains AJAX, The page contains an UpdatePanel which updates every five seconds from an event being fired (the event queries SQL server to retrieve some data, 'server-side') . However when I view the AJAX enabled page (with Abyss running as the Web Server) the event doesn't fire. In order to try and debug the issue, I have since added a button to the page to manually kick the event of. The button does start the event but as soon as it fires I get the following error (see Quote). I can also get the error to occur in IIS. To get it to error in IIS I need to actually stop IIS from running (as I'm viewing the page at the same time), as you can see this makes total sense. Basically the AJAX (Javascript) is running but can't do the partial page refresh as it's unable to interact with the web server (i.e a client-side script calling a server-side update), because the server is off. So I guess Abyss is somehow stopping the partial page update from running. Any Ideas??

For anbodies info, I have resolved the issue. There are some 'diffrerences' between IIS / Abyss interaction of AJAX. I ultimately had to disable EventValidation on the form, i.e. EnableEventValidation="true". Not the ideal situation BUT it did resolve my issue. Not only did it resolve the issue but the AJAX now fires every 5 seconds, without any manual intervention.

The guy seems to think this may be a bug, but remember, I'm not getting this issue when I run the AJAX enabled page under IIS, just when running when under Abyss!
Anyhow, it may help you should you get the same issue.

That should read EnableEventValidation="false"

Paul123,
Thank you for the feedback. Can you please send us your ASP.NET application so that we can test it and check if we can improve things when it comes to asynchronous events support.

The EnbleEventValidation wasn't there at all in my AJAX page, after reading your thread I added it and set it to false and it worked fine on Abyss web server.
But I really don't think this is the solution, because the original page was working fine on asp.net development server.
Thanx for the workaround ;)
