hi folks. i'm a newbie and i needed to be ramped up on umbraco yesterday for a project.
I aplogize in advance for this question, but i need to make sure i understand the system properly.
I am working with forms and need to determine where all the form processing code has gone. Basically where is the code for submitting the form and loading the next page.
From what i understand of how umbraco works there is a content page that is pointing to a template. that template has a macro embedded in it. I look up the macro and it's pointing to a .NET user control file. that file is where the form is processed, fields manipulated, database connections are made, etc.
did i get that right? i can't find the .cs files the controls are associated with and i'm having a hard time reinventing the wheel for this client.
please help! any pointers to where to look, addtional docs, anything would be greatly appreciated.
i guess our major problem then is that we don't have those .cs files anymore. don't know where the developer put them and there's no docs for this project. the guys that are left didn't work on the stuff so they don't know how the backend was put together. yikes. oh well, more hours for me.
You can break open DLLs with .Net reflector. It allows you to decompile the source so you can see what is going on inside the dll, it might help you understand what is going on better.
where did those usercontrol files go?

The .cs files are more than likely compiled into a DLL and are in your bin folder. Your understanding sounds correct to me.
