Hello,
I have an application that uses the INamingContainer and i allow the user to design some part of the design like this:
<myControl:Control1 id="test" runat="server">
<PhotoTemplate>
<<PHOTO>><br />
<<DATE>>
</PhotoTemplate>
</myControl>
i capture this in my webcontrol like this:
[
ParseChildren(false)]
public class myControl : WebControl, INamingContainer
{
ITemplate m_Photos = null;
[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),
TemplateContainer(typeof(TemplateItem))]
public
ITemplate PhotoTemplate
{
get
{
return m_Photos;
}
set
{
Photos = value;
}
}
}
class
TemplateItem :
Control, INamingContainer
{
private
String _message = null;
public TemplateItem(String message)
{
_message = message;
}
public
String Message
{
get
{
return _message;
}
set
{
_message = value;
}
}
}
2 questions.
1) Do i need something else to use this m_Photos variable?, i want to get the design and put in the data where the user has entered the datatag, like in the case above, i would want to change the <<PHOTO>> to a string that contains
the actual photo and the same with <<DATE>>
I have a function that loops thru a list of all the available photos and in there i want to incorperate this design function, to print the photos according to the users wish.
2) How do i add categories to the designs? like:
<myControl:Control1 id="test" runat="server">
<Photo>
<PhotoTemplate>
<<PHOTO>><br />
<<DATE>>
</PhotoTemplate>
<PhotoSeperator>
<hr />
</PhotoSeperator>
</Photo>
</myControl>
