Substitution

A custom control that implements the FrontPage Substitution (“Substitution”) control.

FpSubstitution displays site variables on web pages. The site variables are maintained in the Parameters page of the Site Settings dialog.

FpSubstitution must be hosted in a project that has a valid web metadata file (usually _config/service.cnf or _vti_pvt/service.cnf). If not, the control will throw an exception at design-time and runtime.
