hi,

i have searched the forum & the web and found many posts regarding custom controls & macros in umbraco - but they are all about issues until being able to place the macro in the editor - all that works for me:

what did i do?

• i created an assembly (navigation.cs - inheriting from 'WebControl') that i want to use as a kind of sitemap within the rich text editor (it works fine as a control in the template)
• created a macro for that assembly (with use & render in editor enabled): all works fine (properties there, no errors...)
• placed it in the editor: the expected content is rendered fine in the editor in the backend
• on the page: nothing.... no content - just a '<?UMBRACO_MACRO...'  is rendered to the html output - when debugging: it not even gets to the assembly at runtime...

can anyone tell me where and if i'm missing something? what am i doing wrong?

i'm using umbraco v 4.7.1.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4393.24044).

i have used user controls before (with .ascx files) and they work fine... so what's the trick here?

any help is highly appreciated!
thank you all
