    Newb API Question

    Hey all - Trying for the first time to create a couple of custom .NET controls for Umbraco, really quick question (And easy I suspect)

    I have a variable in my XSLT file

    $currentPage/data [@alias = 'headerText']

    How would I do this in .NET?

    Hi Lee,

    umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent()

    will get you the current page (node) being processed.

    And use

    umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().getProperty('headerText')

    to get the value for the property.

     

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Add a public property to the UserControl, compile the project, upload the ascx to /usercontrols and the dll to the /bin folder

    Go to the developer section, create a new macro, select the usercontrol, click the "BrowseProperties" button and see the magic of umbraco ;-)

    (or add the property ba hand to the properties tab of the macro)

    hth, Thomas
