Where specifically is the masterpage dataview? I’m assuming it’s either the root master page for the site, or the “all items” page for the list. I cannot find “parameterbindings” on either page, however.

I’m attempting to create a datasource of the parent sites calendar on each of the sub-sites default page. Don’t care too much about allowing people to create list items directly from the datasource web part, but I would like it to take on a standard “calendar view.”

Would someone kindly post a few pointers?

For example, where can I find the “subsite dataview” and the “master dataview”. And, is it literally a copy-and-paste-once or is it some kind of string replace?

Some background:
I spent pretty substantial time creating a website based on Microsoft-provided templates that are being hosted on an outsourced Sharepoint hosting platform. I am using SPD to backup and restore to my local site. All this was fine, except the restored website doesn’t work and specifically in the Microsoft-developed areas of the site, where it is simply displaying context-sensitive vanilla webparts: “Shared Documents”, “Discussion” items, “Tasks”, etc.

thanks in advance for your help.

What i’m trying to do is add a dataview webpart in the Default.aspx of the subsite to read a Document Library list from the root site from a subsite.

It works fine without a toolbar, as soon as i add a toolbar it says the following,

in sharepoint designer Error Rendering COntrol …….

when running the website

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.NewMenu.CreateChildControls() +69

Any idea what could be causing this problem.

Thanks for the help.
