Just Updated from 9 to 10.0.1 to .
10.01.01
One of my theme files (AddFiles.ascx) is throwing this error.

Google foo told me to change this

Old line:

if("<%=UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().IsInRole("Administrators") %>"=="True")

Changed to:

if("<%=DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.Instance.GetCurrentUserInfo().IsInRole("Administrators") %>"=="True")

Still showing error.
Any ideas? Thanks

I use UserController.Instance.GetCurrentUserInfo().IsInRole(role); method on server side code, and it's OK in DNN10. It's been a very, very long time since I did any ascx files, but it looks correct to me.

Have you got the IsInRole called multiple times?

What file is this? is it a DNN file or a module file?

Ok, sorry, I see it's a theme file. This kind of error usually happens when classes are not defined property, It it opensource, can you send a link to it?

Thanks. While editing I made a copy of the broken line and I thought it was commented out- the site was still parsing it and throwing the error. When I removed the 'comment' it worked.
