Custom Web Part Question
Hello,

I have created a custom web part (AdManager) with a new attribute (property) named “AdSlot”.

The attribute has the following properties:
Attribute name: AdSlot
Attribute type: Text
Attribute size: 200
Allow empty value: Yes
Attribute default value:

When the AdManager is added to a page and the AdSlot attribute is configured with the value “TestSlot” through the CMS Desk, how can I access that value in the OnLoad function of AdManager.ascx.cs?

Thanks.

Hi,

You need to register your property also in Site Manager as described here - http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/developing_web_parts.htm. Then you can access its value by using "GetValue()" and "SetValue()" methods in the code behind. These methods may take some arguments.

Best Regards,

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. Is there any documentation on the functions in CMSAbstractWebParts?

Hi,

You can find more information in our API documentation - http://devnet.kentico.com/downloads/kenticocms_api.zip.

This class is listed under CMS.PortalControls section (namespace).
