Hello,

I have an existing Custom User Control that retreives information from an existing database. I'd like to use my existing User Control within the mojoPortal framework. How can I accomplish this?

BTW, while I have seen a feature called "HTML Fragment" that allows me to retrieve any .html fragment for display, I haven't seen an "ASCX Fragment" upload that correctly renders the server controls.

thank you for your time!
Michael

Thank you Joe,

Yes, your answer is helpful.  I see now that "ASCX Fragment" Feature doesn't need to exist, because ASCX files can be added dynamically as Features.  The trick, is that they must be added via the Administration Menu first, before use.

SECOND QUESTION

Must all the Features (a.k.a. Site Modules) exist under the /Web folder only (aka mojoPortal.Web project)?  Is it possible for them to exist under a different project as to maintain not altering the exsisting mojoPortal code?

In your articles, you recommend that we keep all our custom work in separate projects and don't make changes to the existing mojoPortal code.  Isn't adding code the mojoPortal.Web project considered changing the existing mojoPortal code?  I like the example article that you rcomended to me, but isn't installing the Hello World examples changing the existing mojoPortal code?  Can I have your thoughts?

thank you,

Michael

Thank you Joe.  Yes, I see how the post-build events are the key to keeping code separate and allowing it to work at the same time. :)  I believe this information is only available in one of your 30 mins screencasts, rather than a text help article.

Joe said, "I recommend getting the mojoportal cod from svn trunk and you can do svn update, rebuild solution visit /Setup/Default.aspx to get up to date on the latest version at any time."

I understand this model.  However using TFS seems to make this model challenging, as (1) the model necessitates two source control systems -and- (2) TFS requires the solution to build and check-in code.

thanks,
Michael

I have a user control with two dropdown lists to choose an area which lists the locations, when I use in my project works fine but to integrate this

logic with mojoPortal I have unexpected results. I'll explain with an example, I have 3 items on the list area and choose an item from the list is

generated by charging returning in the Zone list now 6 elements and if I click on any item will now carry 9 items, this should not work that way

because the only thing that should change with the user interaction should be the list of locations, I have put break points in the Selected Index

Changed event but rather than choose one or the other item ignores the breaking point so I assume that no run the scheduled events are:

CodeBehind:
        protected void ddlZone_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ddlLocation.Items.Clear();
            ddlLocation.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("[Select]", "0"));
        }

        protected void ddlLocation_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            UTPID = Convert.ToInt32(ddlUTP.SelectedValue);
        }

Desing:
    <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlZone" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
            DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceZone" DataTextField="Zone" DataValueField="ZoneID"
                Font-Size="Small" onselectedindexchanged="ddlZone_SelectedIndexChanged"
                Width="200px">
                <asp:ListItem Value="0">[Select]</asp:ListItem>
    </asp:DropDownList>
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceZone" runat="server"
                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:UserConnectionString %>"
                SelectCommand="SELECT ZoneID, Zone FROM Zone">
    </asp:SqlDataSource>

    <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlLocation" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
            DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceLocation" DataTextField="Location" DataValueField="LocationID"
                Font-Size="Small" Width="200px"
                onselectedindexchanged="ddlLocation_SelectedIndexChanged">
                <asp:ListItem Value="0">[Select]</asp:ListItem>
        </asp:DropDownList>
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceLocation" runat="server"
                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:UserConnectionString %>"
                SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Location] WHERE ([ZoneID] = @ZoneID)">
                <SelectParameters>
                <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ddlZone" Name="ZoneID"
                PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" />
                </SelectParameters>
    </asp:SqlDataSource>

The two combo boxes are connected to their respective tables (Area and Location) by using data sources where SQLDataSourceLocation obtains the ID from

the ddlZone (linked to the SQLDataSourceZone) and load the information in the ddlLocations.

Treat yourself to come up with any explanation I have placed a breakpoint in page load and is where you run the following classes:

WebAgendaModule.ascx.cs    (My user control)
ClueTipHelpLink.cs
AdminMenuLink.cs
FileManagerLink.cs
NewPageLink.cs
PageEditFeatures.cs
PageEditSettingLink.cs
WoopraScript.ascx.cs
TreeViewAdapter.cs
WebAgendaModule.ascx.cs    (My user control)
TreeViewAdapter.cs
mojoBasePage.cs
StyleSheetCombiner.ascx.cs
Metacontent.ascx.cs
ScriptLoader.cs
AnalyticsAsyncTopScript.cs
WatermarkTextBox.cs
mojoPanel.cs
ModuleTitleControl.cs
ClueTipHelpLink.cs
mojoPanel.cs
TreeViewAdaptar.cs
mojoSiteMapPath.cs
mojoBasePage.cs

Please I need help.

Hector.

Estimado, me he guiado de un control de usuario ubicado en la carpeta "mojoPortal.Web/Admin/AdminTaxRate" pero el problema es que cuando elijo algun item de cualquiera de las listas, estas se limpian completamente ¿Que puede estar pasando? mi codigo es el siguiente:

He probado este mismo condigo en una pagina independiente que no herede de "SiteModuleControl" y funciona perfectamente... por lo que sospecho que debe haber algun codigo que cause conflicto con el mio pero al manejar tantas clases se me hace imposible hacer el seguimiento modulo por modulo. Por favor si alguien tiene idea de que puede estar pasando estaria muy agradecido.

Saludos,

Hector.

La solucion fue agregar al Page Load "Page.EnableViewState = true" quedando asi:

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            LoadSettings();
            PopulateLabels();
            PopulateControls();
            Page.EnableViewState = true;
        }

Joe lo explica en otro hilo pero es asi de simple, una solucion algo marrana pero funciona.

Saludos,

Hector.
