I can't get Visual Studio 2012 to recognize the 'sc' tagPrefix. My web.config contains the usual line:
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls"
assembly="Sitecore.Kernel"/>
But I keep getting the Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'sc'
message when I try to add a <sc />
tag to my page or user control.
If I open the same solution in Visual Studio 2010, it works fine.
Any ideas?
I finally found it. The Web.Config that is provided by Sitecore contains the following section:
<pages validateRequest="false">
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="Sitecore.Kernel" />
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="Sitecore.Analytics" />
</controls>
</pages>
For VS2012, you need to remove the asp tagprefixes, so the section ends up being:
<pages validateRequest="false">
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="Sitecore.Kernel" />
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="Sitecore.Analytics" />
</controls>
</pages>
No idea why, but that solved the problem for me!
Little side note though: after this change, it won't work in VS2010 anymore.. (neither <sc: />
nor <asp: />
)
