I have set up a custom DataType by way of a UserControl that implements 'IUsercontrolDataEditor', and I am trying to retrieve the ID of the currently selected Document/Node that the usercontrol appears on.

If I'm writing a regular UserControl to be used as a Macro for the frontend I normally use...

[code]Node currentPage = Node.GetCurrent();[/code]

But when used in a custom DataType it throws a NullReferenceException - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Here is the code I'm using...

[code]public partial class ConfigureAdmins : System.Web.UI.UserControl, IUsercontrolDataEditor
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Node currentPage = Node.GetCurrent();
}

public object value
{
get { return null; }
set { }
}
}[/code]

What am I doing wrong? Cheers!
