@Html.AlternateLinks() is filling up my logfile

Vote:
 

Hi!

We started to use @Html.AlternateLinks() on a website.

For the most part it works just perfectly, but it's also filling up the logfiles. Been trying to google the problem but can't find anything I can use. Does anyone here know why and what I can do to avoid it?

Hi Jocke,

Could you please send the real code that's using @Html.AlternateLinks ? in your layout (d:\DLAPI\www.com\Views\Shared\Layouts_Root.cshtml:line 30)

Are you using it like: @Html.AlternateLinks()? (Without param contentLink?) then it's cause null reference exception?

Thanks Ha Bui! Your answer did put me on the right track. We actually had a few pages using the layout that was outside the epi context.
