Where can I find a definitive list of "hostType" values for use when setting up viewmaps in ControlsConfig.config?

I have found the following from various threads/blogs, but where can I find the rest that relate to the widget templates in the SDK?

<viewSettings layoutTemplatePath="~/Templates/FilesView.ascx" hostType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Files.Web.UI.FilesView" />
<viewSettings layoutTemplatePath="~/Templates/LoginControl.ascx" hostType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.PublicControls.LoginControl" />

Hello Robin,

Unfortunately such list does not exist. However you can get almost all widget templates in the WidgetTemplates archive which can be found in the SDK folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Sitefinity 4.2\SDK\Content\Resources

You can also use our API reference for more information. Also you can explore the settings of Sitefinity to learn each modules view properties.

Hi Victor,

We have the templates from the SDK, however when we want to use any of them, it is not obvious what "hostType" to specify in the configuration to hook up the custom template.

Where can this be found if there isn't a list?

Regards,
Robin

Hi Robin,

You can use Refrector or JustDecompile to find the host type you need and use it when mapping new templates.

I know that this post was from over a year ago so I wanted to check in and see id a host type list has become available yet?

Hello Steven,

The host types are still available from the templates in the SDK or by using the previously suggested tools. Unfortunately a list of all host types has not been exposed yet.

All the best,
