I have an XML document in my "Feeds" folder of the root App_Data folder in Sitefinity v5. How can I get this to feed on my page? Do you know of any online tutorials?
I have tried using the Feeds settings, Javascript in a block, and other techniques. Or how do I convert my XML into an RSS so Sitefinity can better read?
If you can provide any help or insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Maria
is this a document you produced for internal use within the sitefinity application? I think the easiest way to go would be to create a simple user control (.ascx) that binds the xml to a repeater or similar control then register that user control as a widget as shown here: http://www.sitefinity.com/documentation/documentationarticles/adding-controls-to-the-toolbox
then you can simply drop this widget onto any page.
If I've misunderstood your question please let me know more about what you're trying to accomplish and I'll try to help!

So the Razor view engine is open source and can be used outside MVC specific implimentations. However, for my specific project (Where I want to enable this functionality inside WordprocessingML Razor won't work as it tries to be smart and work out what is markup and what is Razor code.
Let me clarify, Razor could work inside WordprocessingML as long as you want to give up the idea of opening and editing the documents in MS Word (Or other openXML compliant editor).
For that reason, I was thinking that if you could encapsulate each line of code in XML tags of some kind, you could overcome that, but that is effectively just the ASPX View Engine.
I think that would work perfectly for what I want to do while supporting the full power of C# if required. The problem is that I don't think the ASPX View Engine is available for direct implimentation.
On the ASP.Net site, Microsoft lists some other view engines like Spark, NHaml, or NDjango.
Have you used these before?
Which would you recommend?
Which would you avoid?
Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
We have a Asp.Net Vb.Net application with around 35 webforms.There are some remote users who do not have the functional idea of the webforms.So i was thinking of adding a help file in my project.Is there any special component or javascript ? will it be a good option if i go with form by form or a single help file ?
An Implementation we have done for a web application we develop is a one-to-one form help file approach. In other words, we have the same "file structure" between forms and help files. So each web form has an according help file, which we display as a simple html page.
As an added tip, we use the same naming convention with _help added as a suffic. e.g.
Transactions.aspx ->
Transactions.help.html
I would simply add a (possibly static html) help page or set of pages and link to it from all of your winform pages.
I just wonder if there's an easy application that would allow me and others to edit a sitemap for ASP.NET in a more visual way. For me, the XML format isn't difficult to understand but I want someone else to modify a current sitemap for me and this person is unfamiliar with XML and would not understand a non-graphical interface.
So, is there a simple tool that allows me to edit a sitemap visually?
try ASP.NET 2.0 Web Menu Editor
Try some of these:

I'm looking for a similar control to the InputFormSection control in Sharepoint that I want to use in a regular web page that doesn't run in the context of Sharepoint. Here's how the inputformsection looks like : http://graegert.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/moss_adminarea_page_structure1.png
So do I understand your question correctly? You want to have a control that looks and behave like the InputFormSection control of SharePoint, but it should be able to run outside the context of a SharePoint site?
If so, one approach that you could take is to rip out the generated HTML and use it in your own user control. The IE Developer Toolbar can be of great help to retrieve all other the information (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18359).
It is quite easy to reproduce the control (it is a user control and you have access to the .ascx files). Actually, that's exactly what I ended up doing yesterday.
Yes that sounds backwards. I want to create an area or frame in my Silverlight app to host another page from my site. I've seen it done before but I can't seem to find any examples.
This way I can control the entire page layout using SL but still use existing aspx pages.
thanks
Yes, it can be done and its quite easy to do. I plan on blogging about my HtmlBrowser control and posting the source. The basics are to make sure the Silverlight control is hosted with the isWindowless parameter enabled and then you can at runtime through the HtmlPage class create an IFRAME element and set the src attribute to the HTML page location. The fun part is getting the sizing right, but its not too difficult.
Follow my blog http://craign.net/ over the next couple of days as I'll post my control.
Will frame break out code break out or not when using this technique.
