The following code examples show how you can handle custom tables data using Kentico CMS API.
Deleting an item from a custom table
[C#]
using CMS.SettingsProvider; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.DataEngine; using CMS.CMSHelper;
string customTableClassName = "customtable.SampleTable";
// Get data class using custom table name DataClassInfo customTableClassInfo = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass(customTableClassName);
// Check if data class info exists if (customTableClassInfo != null) { // Initialize custom table item provider with current user info and general connection CustomTableItemProvider ctiProvider = new CustomTableItemProvider(CMSContext.CurrentUser, ConnectionHelper.GetConnection());
// Provide ID of item you want to delete int itemId = 1;
// Get custom table item with given item ID CustomTableItem item = ctiProvider.GetItem(itemId, customTableClassInfo.ClassName);
// Check if item exists if (item != null) { // Delete item item.Delete(); } } |
Adding an item into a custom table
[C#]
using CMS.SettingsProvider; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.DataEngine; using CMS.CMSHelper;
string customTableClassName = "customtable.SampleTable";
// Get data class using custom table name DataClassInfo customTableClassInfo = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass(customTableClassName); if (customTableClassInfo == null) { throw new Exception("Given custom table does not exist."); }
// Initialize custom table item provider with current user info and general connection CustomTableItemProvider ctiProvider = new CustomTableItemProvider(CMSContext.CurrentUser, ConnectionHelper.GetConnection());
// Create new custom table item for given class of custom table CustomTableItem item = new CustomTableItem(customTableClassInfo.ClassName, ctiProvider);
// Set value of a custom table item field item.SetValue("TestField", "Sample item");
// Insert the item item.Insert(); |
Editing an item in a custom table
[C#]
using CMS.SettingsProvider; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.DataEngine; using CMS.CMSHelper;
string customTableClassName = "customtable.SampleTable";
// Get data class using custom table name DataClassInfo customTableClassInfo = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass(customTableClassName); if (customTableClassInfo == null) { throw new Exception("Given custom table does not exist."); }
// Initialize custom table item provider with current user info and general connection CustomTableItemProvider ctiProvider = new CustomTableItemProvider(CMSContext.CurrentUser, ConnectionHelper.GetConnection());
// Provide ID of item you want to edit int itemId = 1;
// Get custom table item with given ID CustomTableItem item = ctiProvider.GetItem(itemId, customTableClassInfo.ClassName);
// Set value of the custom table item field item.SetValue("TestField", "Sample item");
// Update item item.Update(); |
Getting items from a given custom table
[C#]
using CMS.SettingsProvider; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.CMSHelper; using CMS.DataEngine; using CMS.GlobalHelper;
string customTableClassName = "customtable.SampleTable";
// Get data class using custom table name DataClassInfo customTableClassInfo = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass(customTableClassName); if (customTableClassInfo == null) { throw new Exception("Given custom table does not exist."); }
// Initialize custom table item provider with current user info and general connection CustomTableItemProvider ctiProvider = new CustomTableItemProvider(CMSContext.CurrentUser, ConnectionHelper.GetConnection());
// Get custom table items DataSet dsItems = ctiProvider.GetItems(customTableClassInfo.ClassName, null, null);
// Check if DataSet is not empty if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(dsItems)) { // Handle the retrieved data } |
