Hello martin2004,
Thank you for posting in our forums!
Are you experiencing any issues using Umbraco with our controls or do you need any specific assistance with using it? Do you have any questions I may help you with?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi Michael, iam just starting with Umbraco. I try to Transfer our current Intranet to Umbraco.Here we use several Infragistics Controls like Webgrid,Webdatagrid,Editors,Excel Export,Schedule,Explorer Bar , Data Menu and others.At the Moment it is very hard for me to find out how i can exists asp.net pages move to umbraco, or when i have to made the pages new, how can in place your webcontrols on the cms pages.
best regards martin
Hi Martin,
I have a few more questions to help understand your use case more clearly. Please answer the following for me:
1.) Is the data for the controls coming from an external source or from Umbraco?
2.) Once our components are setup to work, will they need to be reused in many locations on the website? Should content editors be able to add our controls to your pages?
If the controls will be used in several places across your site, a macro may be the best way to include our controls. You can find more information on macros here:
http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/templating/macros/ * Please note this site is not owned or maintained by Infragistics.
The best solution strongly depends on the use case. When we have this information, we will be able to provide better assistance.
Hi Michael,
1.) Is the data for the controls coming from an external source or from Umbraco?No, i want use my own SQL Server and connectionsstring (as before,i hope that works)
at the Moment i does'nt really know if i put external controls on my pages (in umbraco)
Hello Martin,
The easiest way to get our controls working would be to create a template (the template is like a view in ASP).
You can find more information on this from Umbraco here:
http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials/introduction-to-umbraco/sitebuilder-introduction/templates.aspx
In this template, you will need to add the code for the user control (if you are working in the browser, make sure that our dlls are in the bin folder).
