Dynamic Content Control not rendering
You need to show it like this
<EPiServer:Property PropertyName="MainBody" runat="server" />

I'm not quite sure what you mean Anders,
the user control that renders the dynamic content should render to the page its on? even if its not using any of the properties set?
Example : if a make the control just say "Hello world" it should show?
its not, it seems the loadControl is not getting hit...

When you use dynamic content you need to show the property with the EPiServer:Property since that one ensures that your GetControl get executed

Did this really solve the issue? I've got an upgraded 5 to a 6R2, and the rendering of my Dynamic Content control does not work. It's working in a fresh 6R2 environment.
To me it seems like the GetControl() does not get called. Is there a known issue with this in respect to upgrading EPi 5?

Make sure you decorate your dynamic content usercontrol classes with the correct attribute. example [DynamicContentPlugIn(DisplayName = "Page Tree Menu", ViewUrl = "~/Controls/PageTreeMenu.ascx")]

I have implemented the following example into my CMS6 site,
http://world.episerver.com/Articles/Items/How-dynamic-content-can-be-used-to-create-a-more-flexible-web-site/
I have followed all instructions and the dynamic content is showing up in the CMS, and seems to save ok.
But the page the content should show on does nothing, i have put a break point on the following method
public Control GetControl(PageBase hostPage) {
var rssControl = (RSSFeedControl)hostPage.LoadControl("/Templates/DynamicContent/RSSFeed/RSSFeedControl.ascx");
rssControl.RssUrl = RssUrl;
rssControl.MaxCount = MaxCount;
rssControl.CacheDuration = CacheDuration;
return rssControl;
}
but it doesn't get called, I have also implemented my own dynamic content and it has the same behavior (shows in CMS, doesn't render)
Any ideas ppl?
