Can't get Dynamic Content (RSS reader) working on an upgraded site

Hi,

I've just updated an EPiServer 5 SP1 site to EPiServer 5 R2 SP2. Everything works fine.

I then followed these instructions to set up a RSS reader with Dynamic Content:

http://world.episerver.com/en/Articles/Items/How-dynamic-content-can-be-used-to-create-a-more-flexible-web-site/

Compiling works fine but as soon as I run the application and enter the website:

The Dynamic Content control type RSS Feed could not be loaded. Check the <dynamicContent> section in web.config.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The Dynamic Content control type RSS Feed could not be loaded. Check the <dynamicContent> section in web.config.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace: 

[ConfigurationErrorsException: The Dynamic Content control type RSS Feed could not be loaded. Check the <dynamicContent> section in web.config.]

   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +68
   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +75

 

I've added this to web.config:

  <add description="Displays a list of items from an external RSS source" name="RSS Feed" type="DynamicContentExample.RSSFeed, EPiServer.Templates.Public"/>

 

 The interesting thing is that when I did this with the example site that is installed with EPiServer it works perfect. No problems at all.

Can anybody help me find a solution on this? Am I referencing something wrong? All DLL references are updated, etc.

 

Cheers,

Sami

Could you check that the type specified in web.config is correct? It should be

type="<Class with full namespace>, <Name of dll where class is compiled>"
