Hi!

I've seen a lot of guides on how to render pages in ContentAreas in MVC but I can't find any guides on how to do that in Webforms. Is there an easy way to do that?

Hi,

Have you installed the Visual Studio Tools? There are templates for partial controls.

Basically you create a new user control and inherit from ContentControlBase. Then you can decorate the user control with the TemplateDescriptor attribute, e.g.:

[TemplateDescriptor(
    Inherited = true, 
    AvailableWithoutTag = true)]
public partial class NewsArticleTeaser : ContentControlBase
{
}

If you use [TemplateDescriptor()] as mentioned above you can also control where the pages are allowed to be rendered as well by using Tags = string [] {"YourTagName"}

Then you use RenderSettings on your episerver:property-webcontrol to set the tag name as well
