I need to make a quick Sitecore admin script to inspect a series of items. I need to do this without compiling my solution.
I made a sample ASPX page under /sitecore/admin/ using:
<script runat="server" language="text/c#">
but when I try to view it I get Sitecore telling me ItemNotFound.
Is this type of 'pure script' page supported under Sitecore? Is there a piece of functionality I am missing?
I wasnt extending the adminpage base class. My script tag should have read like this:
<%@ Page Language="c#" Inherits="Sitecore.sitecore.admin.AdminPage" %>
There a good writeup and example page in this post on BrainJocks.
If Sitecore is telling you ItemNotFound, then it's trying to resolve your request to a content item. Being your admin page is a physical file, the issue is most likely that you've not included the file extension in the request.
For example, to access the ShowConfig admin page I must include the aspx extension of the file when I request it:
http://mysite/sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx
If I leave the aspx off, I'll get an ItemNotFound error.
Here you go, sample code snippet for that:
<%@ Page Language="c#" EnableEventValidation="false" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<script runat="server">
void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
repValues.DataBind();
}
public IEnumerable<string> Names
{
get
{
return new[] { "1", "2" };
}
}
</script>

EDIT: I am glad that you solved your issue ;)
