Adding pre-built ascx

I would like to add the user control found on Mikhail Arkhipov (MSFT)'s WebLog. It's just a weather control that pulls from NOAA.

I'm not exactly following the process for adding a custom control and the site is hosted webhostforasp.net. Nonetheless, I would like to be able to add a container div to only present on the home page to display the weather control. Has anybody done anything like this that they would be willing to share some insight? Thanks for your help.

Re: Adding pre-built ascx

If you are a developer with ASP.NET experience its pretty easy. Create a user control that inherits from SiteModuleControl to create a feature that plugs into the content system. Then add this weather user control inside it.

When I get a chance I will try to integrate this weather control or one like it into mojoPortal. It looks like small 1-2 hour job to me at most.

Best,

Joe

Cool. I would not claim to be an experienced developer but I'll keep working with it and maybe I'll get it. I found another control that is formatted much nicer but is written in vb.net. I have this working on my localhost. Thanks for your help.
