Error when attempting to edit on page (PageTypeBuilder related)

CMS 5 R2 SP2 - Composer 3.2.6

I'm trying to incorporate the Composer Sample Package into an existing project which happens to use PageTypeBuilder.

I tried making the changes suggested here to get PageTypeBuilder working http://labs.dropit.se/blogs/post/2009/10/22/How-to-get-PageTypeBuilder-to-work-with-EPiServer-Composer.aspx but i seem to be getting a different error.

I'm now not using PageTypeBuilder for my Composer pages and just doing it in the recommended way given in the Sample Package - using public templates masterpage.

The page types and controls are all registered but when I attempt to edit the page I get the following error:


Line 36:     var pageContainer = new Extension.UI.LanguageBranch();
Line 37:     pageContainer.Initialize('<%= CurrentPage.PageLink.ID.ToString() %>', '<%= pageContent.ClientID %>', '<%= CurrentPage.LanguageBranch %>', '<%= EPiServer.ClientScript.ClientScriptUtility.ToScriptSafeString(CurrentPage.PageName) %>');
Line 38:     pageContainer.Render('<%= XmlData %>');
Line 39:     var pageCallback = new Extension.CallbackLanguageBranch(pageContainer);

Source File: c:\EPiServer\Sites\SiteName\wwwroot\Dropit\Plugin\Extension\UI\Edit\Controls\LanguageBranchControl.ascx Line: 38

Stack Trace:


[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   PageTypeBuilder.PageTypeResolver.ConvertToTyped(PageData page) +11
   PageTypeBuilder.Initializer.DataFactory_LoadedPage(Object sender, PageEventArgs e) +20

If anyone has any ideas or where I can look for further info I'd be very grateful.

I have started again with the sample composer project and tried to add PageTypeBuilder to this project. As soon as I add the references and rebuild, I get this same error as above when I try "Composer - Edit on page".

Am I the only person who has had this error?

Hey Joel,

you're not alone in getting the error. I wrote a blog post about it here.
