Hi there,

I have been working on a website for a while, I didn't change any code on my home masterpage and them randomly I get this error message, ?

  'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.homemasterpage_master'.

Any ideas what   'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl'  means??

Cheers :) 

Hi,

The CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl method is used to access literal strings that are stored in a resource and is not intended for use from within your code.(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.templatecontrol.createresourcebasedliteralcontrol.aspx)

Are you using keywords as your class name or namespace name?

Would you please post home masterpage code behind If this could not help?

Ok, I think your reply has put me on the right track, but I need some assistance finding a solution.

 I recently made several changes to a project that I had previously upgraded from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0.  The upgrade itself created several resource files that were empty.  During the last batch of updates to the project, I deleted the resource files to try to make the project more readable.

 I didn't have any issues with removing these files until I tried to deploy the site from my development workstation to another server (using Publish Web, updatable).  After I moved the site to the target server, it does nothing but show me a blank page.  This behavior happens on any page I type in the browser.  I have the project writing any errors to the Windows event log, and occasionally I get the error that is in the title of this post.  More specifically, it is referencing a Master page that I recently added to the project (which never had a resource file).

 Now, it looks like I have stumbled on the problem..  But since I have deleted all of the resource files and I don't know which one specifically broke my project deployment, what do I need to do to recreate the broken resources? Or actually, I would rather not use the resource files for my project, so how do I remove the dependencies to them from my project?

TIA
