    Webservice solution

    Hi,

     

    I have a system and I create a webservices for it. This webservice returned specific customer data and it is possible to change the customer data.  I like to call this web service(s) from umbraco so the customer can see and change his own data. What is the best way to do this? I tried different things, creating a usercontrol, but I don’t like that option because I lose a lot of functionality, and in the future a designer has to change the page. Then I found Umbraco Contour, I thought this support webservices for set and get data. But I think it only support set data. Do someone know what the solution is to present/change data from a web service in Umbraco? Is there a standard control for it, can I use contour or do I need to create a usercontrol for it?

     

     

    Regards,

    Martijn

    Hi Martijn,

    What do you mean by loosing a lot of functionality? When I want to display data from external source I usually go for Usercontrols and wrap that Usercontrol into a Macro, Your designer could editor the Markup for that Userontrol or you could set it up very flexible so that he only needs to change the css.

    Umbraco Contour is a form engine so I'm guessing that's not going to help you. So I would go for an UserControl

    Cheers,

    Richard
