I am trying to add a DnnDatePicker to my custom module but I get a "Error Creating Control" error (unknown server tag dnn:DnnDatePicker).

 <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="dnnFormLabel" AssociatedControlID="StartDatePicker" Text="Session date" />

    <div style="font-weight:bold" aria-haspopup="True" class="DatePickerText"></div>

    <dnn:DnnDatePicker runat="server" ID="StartDatePicker" /></div>

My import statements:

<%@ Register Assembly="DotNetNuke.Web" Namespace="DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls" TagPrefix="dnn" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="Label" Src="~/controls/labelcontrol.ascx" %>

 

Any ideas?

have you added the webcontrols library as a reference in your project properties?

Hi Cathal, 

if you mean the DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls or the System.Web.UI.WebControls then yes-both.

Cathal would be referring to the DotNetNuke.Web assembly.

For some reason, I have been having similar issues with the DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnFilePickerUploader control. Anytime that I modify the module control's .ascx file, the corresponding and  automatically generated .ascx.designer.cs designer file looses the proper type declaration for this control which reverts to its base class System.Web.UI.UserControl. I have to manually edit the designer file (which I know should not be done) to restore the correct type declaration before compiling. Perhaps something similar is happening with your module control's designer file.

Hi William,
Yes this is what is happening. I had to delete the declaration in the designer to get it to compile. However I haven't managed to get it working yet.
