Problem adding a block to a new page
I've created a control and made inserts to the two tables that are mentioned in another thread.
 
But I get this exception:
The file '/web/Controls/Blocks/UpdateProducts.ascx' does not exist.
 
at the first if statement in <font color="#2b91af" size="2">Controls_Blocks_BlockContainer.AddBlockToContainer.
 
The ascx file is at the path shown (right after SiteMapPath.ascx).
 
Any thoughts?

Re: Problem adding a block to a new page
Did you use the relative path e.g. /Controls/Blocks/UpdateProducts.ascx when inserting to table dbo.DSC_Block_Type_lkp?

Re: Problem adding a block to a new page
I used
 
/Controls/Blocks/UpdateProducts.ascx
 
Which is similar to what is in the table for Search.  I'm able to add the Search and ProductList.
I'll debug a bit.
 
Also, is there a way to remove blocks from a page?

Oops.  My bad.  I've got a wrong name in the table.
But I still have the question about removing controls from the blocks.

Enabled page editor and click the cross icon (see below). If you are using the Open Source Edition, hook over mouse to the block header and you will find the drop down menu. Click "Delete".
