extension class for news template
Hi Mathias!
You need to move your eztension method into a static class, something like this:
public static class NewsExtension
{
public static string GetTitle(this PageData pageData)
{
return pageData["Title"] as string
}
}

Yes I tried that but I got this weird error "Extension methods must be defined in a non-generic static classy"
But I solved it. It was because my code behind had the same method GetTitle as my extension class. That is apperently not allowed? :P
Thanks!

Hello!
Im new to EPiserver.
I´m trying to write a news template. I am following <a href="http://www.frederikvig.com/2009/07/episerver-web-controls-newslist">Fredrik Vigs guide on how to manage newslist templates</a>
The problem is that he is using some sort of extension class for some of his functions. I am trying to print out some page properties using this code in the newslist template: Container.CurrentPage.GetTitle();
For this to work I am trying to write an extension class file with the GetTitle method, but I cant get it to work..
using EPiServer.Core;
namespace Qwerty.Extensions.Classes
{
public partial class News : PageData
{
public static string GetTitle(this PageData pageData)
{
string text = pageData["Title"] as string;
return text;
}
}
}
I get this error in my newspage template: "Extension methods must be defined in a non-generic static class"
and the same error in my news extension class.
please help! :)
