how to call a macro within c# ?

I would like to call an XSLT macro inside c# and save the result into a string.

Any idea on this?

Thank

Ali

I have also tested following code , but didnt work.

string temp = umbraco.library.RenderMacroContent("<umbraco:Macro pId=\"" + myNode.Id + "\" Alias=\"Get_Items_1st_Level\" runat=\"server\"></umbraco:Macro>", myNode.Id);

When doing it from C# you should probably try using the macro class (umbraco.macro) instead of the umbraco.library.

I haven't tried it myself, but take a look, it has a bunch of methods, one of them might be the one you're looking for!

Hi, umbraco library RenderMacroContent use old macro syntax, so this should work better:

See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Reference/umbraco.library/RenderMacroContent

(Still is that syntax in 4.5.2)
