Accessing Items in an Array
Introduction to Ektron CMS400.NET Server Controls
To access and manipulate content blocks returned by an object,
use the common class Ektron.Cms.Common.ContentBase. EkItems is
an array of Ektron.Cms.Common.ContentBase. EkItem is a single
Ektron.Cms.Common.ContentBase.
Search, Collection and ListSummary have EkItems (an array of
ContentBase), while and ContentBlock have a single EkItem. Here
is an example of how to use this feature.
dim MyC as new Ektron.Cms.Controls.Collection
MyC.DefaultCollectionID = 1
MyC.Fill()
dim item as Ektron.Cms.Common.ContentBase
MyC.Text = ""
for each item in MyC.EkItems
next
MyC.Text &= "" & item.Title & ""
MyC.Text &= ""
Response.Write(MyC.Text())
Referencing the Page Property
This example formats every item in the collection in a bulleted list.
If a control requires a reference to its parent page (for example,
utilizing the DynamicParameter property on a content block to
check for a query string), you must provide access to the page
object if you declared your control in the code behind. To do this,
set the control's page property to the Web page you're working on.
For an example, see the code in red and italics below.
dim search as new Ektron.Cms.Controls.Search()
MySearch.Page = me
MySearch.Fill()
With C#, use this syntax.
