    how to call a macro in a template using .net

    i'm using umbraco 4.5, i need to do a .net inline Response.Redirect in a template. i have a macro that return a string which is an URL. the Response.Redirect will pick up that URL string and work upon it.

    my current problem is, i can't call the macro using .net code, here is what i have so far.

    <%
    lImgUri = umbraco.library.RenderMacroContent("<umbraco:Macro Alias="" macroAlias=""FilmMediaImage"" runat=""server""></umbraco:Macro>", lPageId)
    %>

    the above line used to work in umbraco 4.0 but in 4.5 it stopped working. it can be as easy as some syntax change on that line but i can't seem to figure it out.

    any comment/suggestion/advice will be utmost appreciated! please help

    I've never done it like that. I normally use an extension method.

    Try this:

     

            public static string RenderMacroContent(int nodeId, string field)
        {
            Item item = new Item();
            item.Field = field;
            item.NodeId = nodeId.ToString();

            string s = umbraco.library.RenderMacroContent((string)item.PageElements[field], nodeId);
            return s;
        }

     

    Update: this is actually what I use to render a macro which is in a WYSIWYG.

    i translate what you suggested as:
    lImgUri = umbraco.library.RenderMacroContent(DirectCast("<umbraco:Macro Alias='FilmMediaImage' macroAlias='FilmMediaImage' runat='server' />", String), lPageId)  

    and it's still not working.
    could you please paste me the line where you apply the macro into, the part where you add <umbraco:macro.... />

    thanks!
