Embed into VB page

Reply Quote

I currently have a vb page that I would like to embed cutechat into, but the instructions seem a little limited (from what I have found). Does anyone have sample code on how to embed the chat window into a vb.net 2.x or 3.x web page?

I have added the following code to my page...

<%@ Register TagPrefix="CuteChat" TagName="EmbedChannel" src="~/cutechat/cutesoft_client/cutechat/embedchannel.ascx" %>

//set up the parameters

Embed_Location='Lobby'

Embed_LocationId='1'

</script>

<CuteChat:EmbedChannel id="EmbedMessenger1" runat="server"></CuteChat:EmbedChannel>

When I try to open the test page I get the following error since my page is written in vb

Server Error in '/' Application.

Parser Error

Ok, apparently it doesn't have to do with the page written in vb VS c# because I created a c# page with the same problem.

I'm guessing it has to do with me trying to pull the cutechat from a page in a different directory than the cutechat software is loaded. I have tried adding the <add key="CuteChat.DataDirectory" value="~/cutechat/cutesoft_client/cutechat" /> key to the web.config file, but it still doesn't seem to help.

Anyone with any suggestions? I'm running out of time to try and get this to work.

Thanks ahead of time.

tfox,

It looks like the .net framework cannot find the CuteChat.dll.

Please copy this DLL to the bin folder of the current application.

Adam,

Unfortunatly, this didn't help.

Now i'm getting there following error pasted below.

Also, to give you an idea what have going on, my site is all programmed in vb (yeah, yeah, I know, lol).

2nd, We are trying to embed the chat app into a web page that is displaying a web cam for some live drawings we will be doing.

This way we can actually answer any questions viewers may have.

The web cam pages are under folder /webcam

The chat app is under /cutechat/cutesoft_client, /cutechat/bin, etc

The chap app works fine when I visit /cutechat/embed.aspx, but with them being under different folders it just doesn't seem to want to embed into my web cam page. I had thought about copying the stuff from the /cutechat/web.config file into my root web.config file but that's something I dont' want to undertake unless I have to but from what i'm seeing by the erros that i'm getting, i'm going to have to move the chat app to the root directory and merge the web.config files.

Any other suggestions? We have one of our drawings comeing up next week so we were hopeing to be able to use this then
