Relationship between the controls and the pages

Posted by Community Admin on 09-Sep-2011 00:00

I need to know how to find the contents (ContentBlock, ContentImage). I need to get back the reference of these contents that are in one page from another one.

How can I get the HTML from those controls that are associated to a page?

Which is the table in the DB that have the relationship between the controls and the pages?

Thanks in advance!

Fernando Basaez.

Hello Fernando,

You can use our Fluent Api to get the PageNode of the specific page and then select the control that you wish from that page. Here's a sample code that gets the html from a ContentBlock control on a page with Title "PageTitle" does this:

PageNode node = App.WorkWith().Pages().Where(p => p.Title == "PageTitle").Get().First();

var control = node.Page.Controls.Where(c => c.GetType().Name == "ContentBlock").First();

PageManager manager = PageManager.GetManager();

ContentBlock block = manager.LoadControl(control) as ContentBlock;

var html = (control as ContentBlock).Html;

All the best,

Hi F_E_R_S,

You can use this:

PageNode node = App.WorkWith().Pages().Where(p => p.Title == "Home").Get().First();

var control = node.Page.Controls.Where(c => c.ObjectType == "Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.PublicControls.ImageControl").First();

PageManager manager = PageManager.GetManager();

ImageControl imageControl = manager.LoadControl(control) as ImageControl;

var imageId = imageControl.ImageId;
