Hi all,

I'm working with EPIServer cms 6.0 and PageTypeBuilder 2.0 since a few day ago.
When I start my application an error is generated:

The current page is not of type DefaultPageType. This often occurs when no id query string parameter is specified.

Exception Details: PageTypeBuilder.PageTypeBuilderException: The current page is not of type DefaultPageType. This often occurs when no id query string parameter is specified

Stack Trace:

[PageTypeBuilderException: The current page is not of type DefaultPageType. This often occurs when no id query string parameter is specified.]
   PageTypeBuilder.UI.LoadTypedCurrentPage`1.get_CurrentPage() +441
   EPiServer.PageBase.get_CurrentPage() +42

   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +328

where I try to start the application with a aspx page that is called
Default.aspx

Can somebody help me?

Have you read this blog post including the comments? Also, you say CMS 6.0 and PTB 2, are you sure about 6.0? PTB 2 requires 6 R2 so that may be the cause.

Sorry, the CMS version is 6.1.379.0 and PTB is 2.0.0.0.

Should be any problems between both that cause the error?

That combination should work fine. Unless you're experience the problem(s) described in the blog post + comments I don't know why this is happening. If so, could you provide more context? Such as: part of the source for the page type class, part of the source for the template, request URL and any information about any modifications that have been made to the URL rewriting on the site.

Thanks again. I attach some lines that can help better to understand this issue.

I added the code lines in Global.asax as it told in the blog but it didn't work.

here goes, DefaultPageType.cs

If you let the ASPX-template inherit TemplatePage instead of TemplatePage<T> and add a breakpoint somewhere in the page life cycle, what type is the object returned by CurrentPage?

Ok, finally then I did the changes I can open the site but my question now is if these changes could affect in the functionality of the site.

(TemplatePage instead of TemplatePage<T>)

I only meant that you should do them temporarily. You have a problem that the CurrentPage property returns an object that isn't of the expected type and to figure out the cause it would be good to know what type of object it does return. Typically this would only happen if the page type is mapped to a template file whose type parameter is a different type or if for some reason the id query string parameter is stripped causing the start page to be loaded instead of the expected page, as in the blog post.
