I'm using umbraco 6.1.6. Have created a package that includes a a user control dll file and ascxc file. Problem is this package should work on tab created on dashboard. Package is configurable and dynamic,can be used in any website. How could i add a tab in dashboard dynamically and link this package to that tab created in dashboard. Please help .
During installation of your package you should be able to activate som sort of package action that adds a new section in the /config/dashboard.config file.

Hi Manasa
During installation of your package you should be able to activate som sort of package action that adds a new section in the /config/dashboard.config file.
You can see an example here using package actions - http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/packaging/package-actions/add-dashboard-section
Perhaps you can find some inspiration from the source code of the 301 tracker package here https://github.com/kipusoep/UrlTracker/blob/master/UI/Installer/UrlTrackerInstallerService.asmx.cs
You can read more about package actions here http://www.enkelmedia.se/blogg/2013/3/17/umbraco-packages-%E2%80%93-install-actions-and-user-control.aspx and here http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/packaging/package-actions
Hope this helps.
