Creating Dynamic Web Page - asp.net

I am trying to create a dynamic web page from a template.Then i want to create a menu item from it.
I am creating the page(testtest.aspx for example) and everything works fine but the created page doesn't include in project so i can't reach it because the page is not compiling.How can i do this programmatically ?
This is the code that generates the page
When i try to access the testest.aspx page i get this error:
How can i solve this ? Thank you very much

You are looking for loading aspx pages from a location other than file-system. ASP.Net has built-in mechanism for doing that using providers: VirtualPathProvider.
Details are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx

Create a template page for html that can be used on every page

I would like to build the equivalent of a _layouts.cshtml page that I can use with every page in my web app. I don't want to use cshtml or razor though I want to use html. Is there a simple way to convert the _layouts page to standard html and then include it with the other pages in the app?
I have inherited an app that uses cshtml, with a _layouts page for menus and some content styling used on each page. I can duplicate the content on every page, but would prefer to have a generic solution for it. The client does not want to use cshtml pages. Any java library, such as AngularJS that would provide tools is ok for me to use. I'm not a front-end guy and this is a relatively low budget operation where I'm working for free. TIA.
i'm not familiar with .cshtml but on an html page you could use an iframe and update the contents of the iframe with different pages as needed.
you could also get external html and put it on the current page using jquery's get().
// get the contents of 'test.html' and put it into the 'result' element
// on the current page.
$.get("ajax/test.html", function(data) {
$(".result" ).html( data );
alert("Load was performed.");
});

Easiest way to create a Module in DotNetNuke 6 and to debug

Can I avoid all the packaging and just create a Web application with a .ascx file and use that? The closest thing I can find is this article which is for 5.1 and does not completely work for v6.
http://mestanzasoft.wordpress.com/2011/03/27/creating-a-dotnetnuke-dnn-module-with-an-ascx-control/
So if there is a more up to date tutorial for v6 let me know please.
You should be able to choose Create New Module from the Host -> Extensions page, and then choose the control (which, I think, is what the blog post said). What specifically isn't working?
One thing that may be an issue you're running into is that the control needs to inherit from IModuleBase (probably via PortalModuleBase). You can't just drop a control that knows nothing about DNN in the website and get DNN to make it into a module (though you can make a thin wrapper around a control like that).
Yes you can.
If you go to Host > Module Definitions and click on Create New..., you will find there are there ways to create a new module:
New : That will allow you to create a simple module with single view control. You have to provide module information and create parent folder to do this.
Control: This will allow you to create new module from a control. If you don't want to create a new module folder and control at UI, you can just add a new folder to desktopmodules folder and drop an ascx control which inherits from DotNetNuke.Entities.PortalModuleBase and then use this option to provide correct folder and control that you have created and you are done.
Last option is to create it using manifest and generally useful when you want to split single module with multiple definition to different modules.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
In DNN 6.0 you have to go to Host - Extensions...
then hover over the semi-transparent "Manage" button, which you can barely see (hidden behind the word EXTENSIONS, perhaps), and wait for the popup dialog, and THEN click "Create New Module".

Load FlowPlayer video dynamically into asp.net page

I tried passing in the name of the file via querstrying but it looks like flowplayer wants to load it before the Request.Querstring["videoName"] value is retrieved.
Any Idea?
Have your asp.net page generate the clip configuration dynamically. It's hard to be more specific without seeing your code.

How to include HTML contents from another site? I have access to both sites

I have a site which is using DNN (DotNetNuke) as a content management system. I am using another site for my event registrations. I have sent them my template; which displays the basics including a hover menu with many different items in it.
Issue is - as I update the menu on my site using DNN, I need it to be reflected on the site using my template - without me having to send them a new file. Anyone have suggetsions on how to approach this?
I don't want to send the events provider all of the DNN DLLs as well as my database login information in order to render the menu.
I created a page on my site that is something like 'menu.aspx' - this produces the menu in HTML format, however it has tags like in it that I'd like to remove before serving it to them.
What is the best approach for this? Do I need to write a custom server control using XMLHttp? Can I accomplish this in Javascript?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you!
If both sites are hosted on the same domain (eg site1.domain.com and site2.domain.com) you can use JavaScript and XmlHttpRequest to insert code from one site to another. Otherwise, the Same Origin Policy prevents you from using AJAX.
If they're not on the same domain but you have access to the page on their website, you can simply include there a JS script from your site :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yoursite.com/code.js"></script>
In the JS, simply document.write() what you want on the page. This way, you can easily change the content of the page on their site without having to send them a new file.
Finally, you can also use an iframe on their site, pointing to a page on yours.
EDIT: As Vincent E. pointed out, this will only work if they're on the same domain - my bad.
If you are unwilling or unable to use frames, then I would set up an ashx on your DNN server which renders the menu (if you've got it in a user control all the better, as you can just instatiate it and Render it directly to the output stream) and then just make an Ajax call to that from your events page and insert it directly into the DOM.
Here's a quick and hacky jquery-based example of the events page end of things:
<script type="text/javascript">
function RenderMenu(data)
{
$('#Menu').html(data);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type : 'GET',
url : 'http://localhost/AjaxHandlers/Menu.ashx',
data : '',
success : RenderMenu,
});
});
</script>
You'll want an empty div with the ID 'Menu' on the page where you want your menu to sit, but apart from that you're good to go.
If for whatever reason you can't get the menu HTML in an isolated way, then you'll need to do some text processing in RenderMenu, but it's still do-able.
I am not a web expert, so don't shoot me.
Can't you just put their registration form into an iFrame in DNN ?
