NOTE
Introduction to Ektron CMS400.NET Server Controls
The following are data bindable Ektron Server Controls.
• Collection
• Content Block
• Form Block
• List Summary
• Search
The following is an example of code behind that uses a DataGrid to
display a Collection:
Dim myCol As New Ektron.Cms.Controls.Collection
myCol.DefaultCollectionID = 1
myCol.Fill()
DataGrid1.DataSource = myCol
DataGrid1.DataBind()
When using drag and drop server controls for the Collection and DataGrid, you
need to call the DataBind() method in the code behind. An example line of code
would be: DataGrid1.DataBind() .
