3. Delete the content of the Code text box and insert the code from the gray box bellow. This code will change the transformation to display only the name of a TV and its screen type. Click Save at the top.

 

<table>

  <tr>

       <td>Product name:</td>

       <td><%# Eval("TVName") %></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

       <td>Screen type:</td>

       <td><%# Eval("TVScreenType") %></td>

  </tr>

</table>

That's how you change default transformation for your product so that the product name and screen type are displayed.

Please note: You can modify the design of the product list web part by changing the CMS.Root.EcommerceProductsList transformation in the manner similar to the given example.

 

 

 

 

Adding namespaces

 

You can add additional namespaces into the web.config file in the following location:

 

<system.web>
    <pages validateRequest="false">
        <namespaces>
            <add namespace="CMS.CMSHelper"/>
            <add namespace="CMS.GlobalHelper"/>
         </namespaces>
    </pages>
</system.web>

 

In case you add namespace into the web.config file, you don't have to specify it when calling its objects in transformations. Therefore, instead of calling CMS.GlobalHelper.ResHelper.GetString("MyCustomString"), you could call just ResHelper.GetString("MyCustomString").
