Re: [Rainbowportal-devel] Break in Development?

[Emmanuele De A. <ma...@gm...>]

Well, this is a problem related to the parser (the aspx part of the
form) and it is really difficult to debug.
Walking the inner exceptions in most situations does not help.
I usually use a couple of tricks:
- sometimes opening the control in visual studio designer show the error
- you may try to do a simple empty aspx page and put your module as a
control in it. if you have custom errors off you should get more
meaningful messages running the page.
I'm wondering what is the logic used by aspnet to get more info about
the errors.
