Hi,


 


Can anybody tell me how to make a frontend form, which on submit triggers a method in my module? Seems like its not possible using simple postbacks - but maybe im wrong?!


 


If you have a simple example module I can have a peek at I would be gratefull...


 


thanks in advance

Hi


 


For the time being it is not possible to create an asp.net webform (

) and use the built in postback mechanism to fire methods. It will be there soon though.


 


That does not mean it is not possible - it just has to be done the "old way".


 


In a Default Custom module project, you have a hook In Default.aspx.vb/cs on the CMEvent which calls a method in your module which then returns a string of HTML generating the module output. In that method you can call different methods based on postbacks og querystring values:


 


Like this:


 


public string Render(DataRow ParagraphRow, Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageView Pageview)


{


if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString("DealerID")))


{


int DealerID = (Int32)HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString("DealerID");


return Show(DealerID);


}


else


{


return List();


}


}

Hi,


 


Thanks for your answer. It was the approach I'we taken, but nice to know that it was the right way...
