.net user controls ascx pages

[brunbrun]

hi,
need to know if contribute can allow our non-technical users to edit the user
controls that contain the information they are about to be responsible for.
thanks very much.
the documenation says,
"By default, Contribute can open files with the following extensions: .htm,
..html, .shtm, .shtml, .asp, .aspx, .ascx, .cfm, .cfml, .php, .php3, .php4,
..phtml, .jsp, and .inc."
but when i choose an ascx file, contribute says,
"050818buzzBPGLOBAL.ascx
This file cannot be displayed in the Contribute web browser.
You may be able to edit this type of file with another application. Edit your
Contribute preferences to specify an application."

You might want to see if script protection is enabled.

Give this a try:

1. From within Dreamweaver MX 2004, choose Site > Administer Contribute Site.
2. Enter your administrator password.
3. Create a new role.
4. Click the Edit Role Settings button.
5. Select the Editing category.
6. Uncheck the Protect Scripts and Forms option.
7. Click OK to close the Edit Setting dialog box.
8. Click OK again to save the settings to your web server.

Thank you for the reply. It did not work. I still get the same message about not being able to display the file type in the contibute editor.

Well this would by my last suggestion: check to make sure it's set as
editable. Should be by default but maybe it's not for some reason.

check Extesions.txt and ExtensionsEdit.txt

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Contribute 3\Configuration

here's some Dreamweaver info that may relate:
