Service Locator not set in fubuMVC HelloWorld sample

Question

hi there,

recently I downloaded the latest sources from fubumvc. I startet the "HelloWorld" sample for a little warm up. Unfortunately everytime a NullReferenceException is thrown by the ServiceLocator in the FubuPage class. First I thought the App-Start might not might not run properly but that's not it...

Anybody any ideas?

Thanks

Based on the comments above, it looks like you were hitting a URL with the ".aspx" extension on it which executes the view as a classic ASP.NET WebForms request and bypasses FubuMVC (and it would bypass ASP.NET MVC as well).

Make sure not to put ".aspx" on the end of your request URLs in the address bar in the browser so that you'll be executing FubuMVC routes and not WebForms requests.
