    Help: Legacy User Control in an Umbraco v8 site

    Hello,

    In an old Umbraco site I have a user control in an Umbraco 7 dashboard to export user data in CSV format (it is used only in backoffice, NOT outside). This is performed by a User Control (ascx file) that is used in a dashboard and configured in Dashboard.config file in this way:

    <tab caption="Contact Details">
     <control addPanel="true">
     /UserControls/Dashboard/ContactDetails.ascx
     </control>
     </tab>
    

    Inside the .ascx file, I have a grid view control with a button, used to download data in csv format.

    This UserControl has been created and integrated as a dashboard tab as described here: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/26702-Creating-a-new-tab-under-Content

    It seems that Umbraco 8.x version does not allow UserControls in the backoffice. So, how can Ido to have this feature also in an Umbraco 8.x site?

    Thanks, Paco

    Hi Paco,

    it seems like you'd have to extend the back office to allow this.

    Here's the relevant docs:

    Hope this helps

    I, too, would love to know how to do this. Extending the backoffice isn't a clear enough answer.
