I have a schema "control" having a field named "tag" (text type) . Now I have created a component with this schema and fill the "tag" field as :
<RegForm:MyRegisteration runat="server" />
and updated web config file.
<add src="~/WebUserControl.ascx" tagName="MyRegisteration" tagPrefix="RegForm" />
I have added the Component to the Page.
Now I want to know is this the way to render the controls or any other better approach to do so.
As I mentioned in some other posts, Tridion doesn't really care about what you're outputting. If your template writes the code that your ASP.NET or Java application needs to run, then it will run.
I wonder if you need to have this has a component, do you expect editors to create the control as part of their content? Do you need to translate it?
Normally this type of "content" goes in the template, not in the components.
The important thing to keep in mind is always: what will be written to the application server?
I have used the "Code Component" approach for publishing .net pages on a client site that did not have any version control code management software.
The components were used to store the current working version from the dev server.
To use this approch you must make sure that only developers have access rights to these components.

My app brings up a window that has a Web Control inside it. The web control is passed an html page to display. On the page is a tag that loads an OCX. The ocx is located in the same folder as the application. In the non UWP version this all worked because the OCX is registered and the appropriate entries are made in the System Registery. As we know the registery works differently in a UWP Bridge App. It appears the converter caught and made the correct entries in the "Registry.data" file. If I retrieve the entries (using the GUID of the OCX) using code inside the app the values look correct. I suspect that the App is looking inside the "Registry.data" file but the Web Control is looking in the System registry and does not find the OCX. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Neil
I need to insert Google Tag Manager invocation code to a website powered with Sitecore CMS 6.3 – how do I do that? It it possible without the source code, recompiling and deploying the project? Is it doable at the CMS level? Thanks.
It would depend on how your site was implemented, but this is most likely not doable at the CMS level. You are supposed to put the code for the tag container immediately after the opening body tag. Most sites are not set up to insert arbitrary code at that location.
You do not necessarily need to do a recompile. You could just add the code to your main layout aspx file. However, your organization's deployment process may (and hopefully does) require that even this minor change go through the full build and deploy process.
I am trying to use aspx pages as an email templates. There will likely be a bunch of objects on the page which will be used as replacements in the html. Because it's an aspx page I'll be able to use databinding, repeaters, etc. At run time, I want to be able to instantiate the aspx page from its path, pass in a bunch of properties, and then get the rendered result of the page and email it. This seems pretty straightforward from a asp.net website (maybe using BuildManager or Server.Execute.) However, I want to be able to use the same templates via a console application by just loading up a page object from its filepath. Is this possible?
You could host your own webserver. Like the Cassini webserver.
In my own application (a Windows-based Desktop-CMS), I include a web server, too (non-Cassini). It works very well, also it does not serve ASP.NET but plain, HTML.
As I did some research back then, I first wanted to use the Cassini, too, but at some point, I found out that too much user privileges were required to run it successfully; this may not be an issue to you, but keeping this in mind and try to run it early with the permissions of the later user, might be a good idea.
Hello: we currently do not use asp.net controls (no web forms). The way we do is:
1> Read HTML file from disk
2> lookup database, parse tags and populate data
finally,
Response.Write(page.ToString());
here there is no possibility of using asp.net controls. What I am wondering is, if we use asp.net controls in those HTML files, is there way to process them during step 2?
Thanks and appreciate your response.
I haven't tried this but you might want to attach the html extension to the ASPNET ISAPI filter in your IIS and in your page, step 2, use Server.Execute and call out that html file. However that page will execute on its own.
If these html pages from step 1 are meant for making up parts of the page that needs to get inserted in parts of the webform (.aspx), I suggest that you make use of master pages instead.
If the html pages are standalone pages that need extra functionality you can simply upgrade them to webforms without codebehind if needed. Custom made macros in Visual Studio can help a great deal in this transition effort.
I've noticed a lot of Microsoft sites have the *.MSPX extension. While I'm very familiar with ASP.NET, I've not seen this extension before.
Does anyone know what this identifies?
A few internet searches led me to http://www.microsoft.com/backstage/bkst_column_46.mspx, but it was a dead link. Fortunately, it was archived on the Wayback Machine and you can read it here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040803120105/http://www.microsoft.com/backstage/bkst_column_46.mspx
The .MSPX extension is part of the "Microsoft Network Project," which according to the article above, is designed to give Microsoft's sites a consistent look-and-feel worldwide, as well as keep the design of the site seperate from the content. Here's the gist of the article:
The presentation framework includes a custom Web handler built in ASP.NET. Pages that use the presentation framework have the .mspx filename extension, which is registered in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) on the Web servers. When one of the Microsoft.com Web servers receives a request for an .mspx page, this custom Web handler intercepts that call and passes it to the framework for processing.
The framework first checks to see whether the result is cached. If it is, the page is rendered immediately. If the page is not cached, the handler looks up the URL for that page in the table of contents provided by the site owner (see below) to determine where the XML content for the page is stored. The framework then checks to see if the XML is cached, and either returns the cached content or retrieves the XML from the data store identified in the table of contents file.
Within the file that holds the content for the page, XML tags identify the content template to be used. The framework retrieves the appropriate template and uses a series of XSLTs to assemble the page, including the masthead, the footer, and the primary navigational column, finally rendering the content within the content pane.
I think it's an XML based template system that outputs HTML. I think it's internal to MS only.
Well, a little googling found this:
The presentation framework includes a
custom Web handler built in ASP.NET.
Pages that use the presentation
framework have the .mspx filename
extension, which is registered in
Microsoft Internet Information
Services (IIS) on the Web servers.
When one of the Microsoft.com Web
servers receives a request for an
.mspx page, this custom Web handler
intercepts that call and passes it to
the framework for processing."
I'd like to find out more info though.
I love you guys, i was asking myself also many times, why MS uses .mspx and what it is at all?! :)
That time i couldn´t find any informations quickly and assumed it would just be something on top of asp.net or maybe not even that, because you should be able to assign the same asp.net cgi dll to .mspx also easy too ;)
But, surely, it can be anything.. also an "special" CGI itself (completely beside ASP.NET), which processes that request with much better / much more cache-use, easier editing and so on..
The end of the story was, that i came accross the view, that maybe it´s not important to know, what .mspx exactly is :)
