Import existing DB table to CMS Desk custom table
Hello,
in CMS Desku, tab Settings and in tree option are custom tables.

I develop custom user control (*.ascx) which need database table.
Next I want create administration for this database table, and I want import existing table in database to custom table in Kentico administration.

By help etc. and notes, it should go, but I not found it to perform a procedure how.
Could I ask you this way of routing?

Best regards,
Petr

RE:Import existing DB table to CMS Desk custom table
Hi,

to import data from existing table into custom table in Kentico you could use Import Toolkit.

To work with custom table data using API in your custom form control please find inspiration in following API examples:
