I'm using the following code in a skin.asxc file:

<%
Dim currentLevel = DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().ActiveTab.Level 
Dim currentTabID = DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().ActiveTab.TabID 

If currentLevel = 2 Then 
%> 

<div id="submenu"> 

<uc1:HouseMenu id='HouseMenu2' runat='server' Scope='<% currentTabID %>' ShowAdmin='True' IsRecursive='False' Orientation='H' /> 

</div> 
<% 
Else 
Response.Write("Else called...") 
End If
%>

Using this code im getting the following error.

Now i'm a complete ASP / DNN novice so i might be trying to do things that you aren't suposed to do :p. But basicly i want to create House Menu's based on some simple Variables like Level or hasChildren. Can anyone help me with this cause i seem to be doing something wrong and i have no idea what to try next.

Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

I tried the following, but still got the same errors.

cStr(DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().ActiveTab.TabID)

Int(DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().ActiveTab.TabID)

Scope=' <% cStr(currentTabID) %>'

Scope=' <% Int(currentTabID) %>' 
 

I thought in ASP you don't have to declare what type of variable it's goin to be.

Thanks for the help, but still no anwser .

After checking that a little I'm not certain that the skin can accept code in this manner at all.

One option would be to try it recoded in this kind of form: (Please note I haven't tested this code)

 <script runat="server">

 Dim currentLevel as string = DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().ActiveTab.Level.ToString Dim currentTabID as string = DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().ActiveTab.TabID.ToString If currentLevel = 2 Then HouseMenu2.Scope = currentTabID submenu.visible = True Else submenu.visible = False

<div id="submenu" runat="server"> <uc1:HouseMenu id='HouseMenu2' runat='server' ShowAdmin='True' IsRecursive='False' Orientation='H' /> </div>
