    Passing Item to .Net Macro inside Template

    Hi all

     

    Hopefully a simple one for you guys to answer...

    I need to pass a Item value to my .Net macro inside my template.  My code below dosen't work.  What is the correct approach ?

    Thanks for any help!

     

        <umbraco:Macro 
                        itemName=<umbraco:Item field="courseVenue" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
                        Alias="MyControl" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    Hi Michael

    I don't think you're able to pass values to a macro using umbraco:item.

    I think what you need to do is add the itemName parameter on the macro as a "content picker" type where you can select a node from the tree and do some magic with the returned id in your user control.

    Hope this help.

    Hi!

    It should be possible, using the following syntax (sample from wiki-page http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/templates/umbracomacro-element/macro-parameters/advanced-macro-parameter-syntax )

    <umbraco:macro alias="RenderProperties" pagevalue="[#bodyText]" runat="server"/>

    Regards

    Jonas
