Hello there!

I just want to know, if there's a way to add a SimpleView-Control to a Page programmatically?

I've used the Testimonials Intra-Site Module Sample as base for a own module. Since it is easier to install, I want to use SimpleView for the Backend-Page-Controls, instead of ascx an code-behind. It is possible to add the SimpleView as PageControl programmatically to the Backend-Page and how?

Thanks in advance, Dieter

You can certainly add compiled controls based on SimpleView programmatically. Instead of creating the control with a path to an ascx file, instead create it using an instance of the control itself.

For example:

var control = new NewsView();

var pageControl = pageManager.CreateControl<PageControl>(control, placeHolder);

page.Page.Controls.Add(pageControl);

pageManager.SaveChanges();

hope this is helpful!
