Platform: VS.NET2005+VB.NET, WIN2003 ENT+IIS6

I have a DNNMenu on a usercontrol, if i place the usercontrol on an aspx page it works fine. if i place the usercontrol on a content aspx page which is linked to a master page the menu does not render. And the page throws a script error: this.rootNode is Null or Not an Objec. Is there a fix for this behavior, dnn is a nice to have but i need to use the Masterpages as the building blocks of my site.

I'm going to have to assume that the DNNMenu requires some of the DotNetNuke core code to exist, and by putting a user control on an ASPX page, outside of DotNetNuke, you're going to be lacking that required information.

Unless of course by "masterpage" you mean DotNetNuke skin?

Some clarifications.

DNNMenu does require references to Dnn.WebControls.dll, dnn.WebUtility.dll and  the dnn.*.js script lib to function. All these references exist in my project and the menu within the UserControl function correctly depending where I use it within the project.
 The user control encapsulates all that is required to generate the DNNMenu, so it's perplexing why when I'm dropping the usercontrol on various content pages in my project it never works on pages linked to vanilla .net Masterpages or directly on the MasterMage. If I unlinked the content pages from the master it functions correctly. The vanilla .net Masterpages and aspx pages to which I'm placing the UserControl all exists in the same folder within the project.

More info.

The DNNMenu menu items are configured from an xml config file. I tried a test using the DNN webcontrol sample project from this site, i added a new test.aspx page and drop on the existing control Navigation.ascx.
I ran the project in vs.net 2005with test.aspx as my start page and the DNNMenu contained in  Navigation.ascx. worked perfectly.
I then created a new .net  test.Master and link the test.aspx to it, as expected the Menu did not show up and IE threw a script error. I step through the config script dnn.xml.js and discover the config xml data was missing from the dom construct of the menu when the menu runs on a master page.  The xml config data is loaded on the load event of the Navigatio.ascx ..ie:.Me.NavMenu.LoadXml(oXML.OuterXml)...

some how the xml info is lost when the content aspx page is combined with the master page.  This look less to be a case of user error on my part and more a compatability issue with dnnMenu and .net Masterpages.
