Custom datatype help: saving to XML document at page publish
Hey guys, i was hoping you could help me with a tiny problem,
I've made a custom datatype that's supposed to send some information to a webservice. However i would like it to only send the information if the user clicks publish, but still save the information when Save is clicked (this works so far).
Using some of the examples of custom datatypes found on codeplex and here, I've managed to make everything else work, but I can't seem to find the name of the method being called when Save&Publish is clicked?
In other words, how do i execute my code when publish is clicked?
I'm pretty sure that you can't access this from your datatype. Events are the way to go. I've written a few examples how you can use events. What you need to do is subscribe to the Document_BeforePublish event and put your code in there.

Hi Joakim,

Hope it helps you,
