Congrats on posting!

Hello, 

I am not sure if anyone will be able to help me diagnose the problem I am experiencing but I figured I'd ask anyways. I am currently creating a new C# Compiled Module. I have a main dashboard page control .ascx page which acts as a 'hub' to display multiple separate control pages from. Unfortunately when trying to reference the control .ascx files, I keep receiving the error "File [INSERT FILE NAME/PATH] was not found". I am basing the methodology of this new module I am creating off of a previous module I worked on that is sucessfully in use. I made sure to include all of the control .ascx pages in the .csproj already, and I also registered the controls in my modules .dnn file. Is there anything I am missing? 

Interestingly, I managed to reference and embed the main dashboard .ascx file within my module's View.ascx file using the same methodology with no issue. 

I think it should also be noted that my dashboard page and the controls I want to display are housed within the same folder, I am not sure if this would cause issues.

Thanks,

Nicl

Daniel,

Thank you for your response. I realized that once I had posted unfortunately lol. As it turns out I managed to solve the issue I was having in the meantime. Due to the way my controls were nested I had to adjust the file path references I was using. So all good to go, sorry about that!

The few times I've done this, it was normally a path issue that needed to be diagnosed.
