Using widget from another dll

Jelle Capenberghs asked on August 5, 2019 11:45

Hello,

I made a widget with a custom controller in my own separate library 'Company.Kentico.Widgets.dll' and I registered the widget like this: [assembly: RegisterWidget("Company.Kentico.Widgets.MediaLibraryWidget", typeof(MediaLibraryWidgetController), "Choose file from Media Library", IconClass = "icon-picture", Description = "Choose a file from the media library")] Now I put the dll as a reference in my DancingGoatMvc sample project and put my widget in an editable area but I cannot select my custom widget in the admin interface. Since I registered the widget in my dll I think it should be possible to use it. How do I use my widget from another library in my Kentico project? I use Kentico12 SP.

Kind regards

Hi,

Do you have AssemblyDiscoverable attribute in your project properties (AssemblyInfo.cs) of your 'widgets' project? You should add something like this to make registrations in external libraries:

using CMS;
[assembly: AssemblyDiscoverable]

Best regards, Dragoljub
