DOPEable properties in usercontrol

Jens Pettersson

Vote:

In a UserControl; if I want to include a property that is defined on, let say, the start page, and that should be possible to edit in DOPE, I do the following... .ascx

.ascx.cs


public PageData root;
public EPiServer.WebControls.Property Whatever;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
root = Global.EPDataFactory.GetPage(Global.EPConfig.StartPage);
Whatever.InnerProperty = root.Property["Whatever"];
Whatever.Editable = true;
}

But it feels like I'm missing out on something really basic.

I think you could just do this: .ascx

Oops, continued...

Then you shouldn't need anything in your code behind. Cheers.

Sorry for wasting yours and everyone elses time. I was probably drivelling you away with this too-simple-to-be-a-saying-what-he-says question (because I don't see how your prop would work). It should of course just be; .ascx

Duh, take that back. DOPE changes doesn't stick, alltough it looks like they save at first glance. But when I reload page, it's reset. Anyone? I feel like a real DOPE here...

DOPE only works for saving properties on the current page.
