I'm having an odd problem with a container I created for DNN 4.5.  The actions menu isn't working.  Here's the ASCX:

<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Containers/container.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Actions.ascx" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON5" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON1" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON2" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
 <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON4" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
 <div class="modNT">
   <div class="modNThead">
     <span class="modNTright"><dnn:ACTIONBUTTON5 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON5" CommandName="ModuleHelp.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" /></span>
     <span class="modNTleft"><dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnACTIONS" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="True" /></span>
     <dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" /></div>
   <div id="ContentPane" runat="server" class="modNTbody"></div>
   <div class="modNTfoot">
     <span class="modNTright"><dnn:ACTIONBUTTON2 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON2" CommandName="SyndicateModule.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" />&nbsp;<dnn:ACTIONBUTTON4 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON4" CommandName="ModuleSettings.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" /></span>
     <dnn:ACTIONBUTTON1 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON1" CommandName="AddContent.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="True" /></div>
 </div>

And here's the error I see when I hover over the drop down arrow:

Error Message

I don't see any significant differences between my code and the default DNN Blue containers.  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Looks like your callback to populate the items on demand is failing.  Hard to say why.  You could simply remove the attributes ExpandDepth="1" and PopulateNodesFromClient="True" to disable this feature and always pull all menu items down.

Thanks for the tip, Jon.  I'll give it a try.

Does anyone know if this new menu system is documented anywhere?  It's not in the Skinning Guide.  What do those two attributes do?  Are there others that I might need to add?

It's a bit of a mystery...
