Header control replaced

The Header control is replaced, overriding the Header control migration in V5.1.

Migration effects

The Header.html file in your application's Header and Footer folder is automatically replaced with the latest version from the current design theme folder.

The Header.xml, Header.ascx, and Header.ascx.cs (.vb) files are deleted and will be automatically re-created when you next build your application.

Customizations you have made to the Header files will not be retained.

What you should do

After migration, re-apply any customizations you may have made to the original Header files to the new Header files in your application.

If your original application enabled the Skip Navigation Links feature for Section 508 compliance, then you will have duplicate Skip Navigation Links controls in your application pages. One of these links is part of the new Header control; the other is part of the page and should be manually removed since it is obsolete. The Skip Navigation Links option in the Application Generation Options dialog will not enable or disable the obsolete Skip Navigation Links control.

To remove the obsolete Skip Navigation Links link, delete the code generation tag (GEN tag) for the obsolete Skip Navigation Links link present in each of your application’s HTML layout pages.

<GEN:Hyperlink Name="SkipNavigationLinks"/>

Do this for all HTML layout pages in your application, including the Select Language, Sign In and Sign Out pages.
