    XSLT extension problem

    I'm trying to create my first "hello world" XSLT extension. I have some problems.

    I created the extension usning vb.net 2008 as simple as possible like this:

    Namespace xlstTest
    Public Class helloWorldExt
    Public Shared Function sayHello() As String
    Return "Hello world"
    End Function
    End Class
    End Namespace

    I copied the dll to the bin foldere and added this :



    to the xsltExtension.config file.

    When i try to use the extension in an XSLT file i get this YSOD:

    Could not load type xlstTest.helloWorldExt (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin\HelloWorldExt.dll) for XSLT extension C:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin\HelloWorldExt.dll. Please check config/xsltExentions.config.

    I really tried to check everything according to the umbracoTV video, and i can't see what i'm doing wrong. Can anybody spot my mistake ?

    Thanks

    Mikael

    Hi Mikael,

    Did you name your Assembly HelloWorldExt (= the same as projectname)?

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Your method needs to be static thats the way when umbraco loads using reflection it picks up xslt extension methods.

    My guess is it's some sort of security issue. Did you move the file to bin folder?

    Try copying it instead. This will make Windows adapt the folder security

    Ismail:

    shared in VB.net = static in C#

    Jesper:

    i did copy the dll file, but i will double check the security settings

    Tanks both

    It doesent seem to be a access rigths problem, i just tried to give "everyone full control" to the file, and i still get the same YSOD.

    I hope i'm right about public static in c# being public shared in VB.net, but i'm rather sure about that.

    Hm, did you make a typo? xlstTest instead of xsltTest?

    I double and triple checked everything for typos, and i'm quit sure that is not the problem either.

    SOLVED.

    My geek college fond the problem, it was a double namespace.

    In VB there is an implicit namespace and i added one one too.

    So i had namespace.namespace.classname.

    As soon as i deleted the namespace i put around my class, everything worked as expected.

    Thanks for all your suggestions

    Mikael
