Posted by Community Admin on 06-Jul-2011 00:00

I'm creating a simple control of user profile as
UserProfileView.ascx

<%@ Control Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2011.1.413.40, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity, Version=4.1.1501.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sitefinity" %>

<sitefinity:Message

runat="server"

ID="message"

ElementTag="div"

RemoveAfter="30000"

FadeDuration="10" />

<asp:Label ID="Label1" Text="<%$ Resources:UserProfileResources, FullName %>" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="FullName" Font-Bold="True"/><br />

<asp:TextBox ID="FirstName" runat="server" Width="100%"/>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="FullNameRequired" runat="server" CssClass="sfError" Display="Dynamic"

ControlToValidate="FullName" SetFocusOnError="true">

<strong><asp:Literal ID="fnRequired" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:UserProfileResources, FullNameRequired %>"></asp:Literal></strong>

</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

<br /><br />

UserProfile.cs

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Localization;

namespace UserProfileControl

public class UserProfile : SimpleView

private const string layoutTemplateName = "UserProfileControl.Resources.ControlTemplates.UserProfileView.ascx";

protected override string LayoutTemplateName

get

return layoutTemplateName;

protected override HtmlTextWriterTag TagKey

get

return HtmlTextWriterTag.Div;

protected virtual string FullName

get

return this.Container.GetControl<TextBox>("FullName", true).Text;

protected Message Message

get

return this.Container.GetControl<Message>("message", true);

protected override void OnInit(System.EventArgs e)

base.OnInit(e);

Res.RegisterResource<UserProfileResources>();

protected override void InitializeControls(GenericContainer container)

UserManager manager = UserManager.GetManager();

this.Container.GetControl<TextBox>("FullName", true).Text = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name as string;

UserProfileResources.cs

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Localization;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Localization.Data;

namespace UserProfileControl

[ObjectInfo("UserProfileResources", ResourceClassId = "UserProfileResources")]

public class UserProfileResources : Resource

[ResourceEntry("FullName",

Value = "FullName")]

public string FullName

get

return this["FullName"];

[ResourceEntry("FullNameRequired",

Value = "Full name required")]

public string FullNameRequired

get

return this["FullNameRequired"];

Whan I add control on page, get

Is there any solution for this issue?

Hi Olga,

The problem seems to be caused by

UserManager manager = UserManager.GetManager();

Does removing the line fix the error? If you call this line from another control or a page, do you get errors?

Removing the line doesn't fix error, but adding the line is cause of error at another control.
I change line

this.Container.GetControl<TextBox>("FullName", true).Text = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name as string;

to

this.Container.GetControl<TextBox>("FullName", true).Text = "Name";

I get another error

Invalid resource name "UserProfile.Resources.ControlTemplates.UserProfileView.ascx" for assembly "UserProfile, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" or empty template.

How to resolve this problem and get information about current user?

Hello Olga,

Please use VirtualPathProvider to register the control template. Since Sitefinity 4.1 we introduced VPP

www.sitefinity.com/.../taking_advantage_of_the_virtual_path_provider_in_sitefinity_4_1.aspx

so one way is registering the template through global.asax as the post above shows.

The other way is to set a prefix in your private const string used for the template like "~/SfSamples", then this prefix should be registered in the configuration (itefinity>> Administration >> Settings >> Advanced >> VirtualPathSettings )together with the assembly where the template is defined

public override string LayoutTemplatePath

            get

                return layoutTemplatePath;




        protected override string LayoutTemplateName

            get

                return null;



private const string layoutTemplatePath = "~/SfSamples/Telerik.Sitefinity.Samples1.Resources.MyCustomTemplate.ascx";

I registry VirtualPathProvider (screenshot attach) and rewrite UserProfile

namespace UserProfile

public class UserProfile : SimpleView

public override string LayoutTemplatePath

get

return layoutTemplatePath;

protected override string LayoutTemplateName

get

return null;

private const string layoutTemplatePath = "~/SFUserProfile/UserProfile.Resources.ControlTemplates.UserProfileView.ascx";

protected override HtmlTextWriterTag TagKey

get

return HtmlTextWriterTag.Div;

protected virtual string FullName

get

return this.Container.GetControl<TextBox>("FullName", true).Text;

protected Message Message

get

return this.Container.GetControl<Message>("message", true);

protected override void OnInit(System.EventArgs e)

base.OnInit(e);

Res.RegisterResource<UserProfileResources>();

protected override void InitializeControls(GenericContainer container)

this.Container.GetControl<TextBox>("FullName", true).Text = "admin";

and get error

Cannot find template "~/SFUserProfile/UserProfile.Resources.ControlTemplates.UserProfileView.ascx".

Stack Trace:


            [ArgumentException: Cannot find template "~/SFUserProfile/UserProfile.Resources.ControlTemplates.UserProfileView.ascx".]

Where am I mistaken? Have you sample control using virtual path?

Hello Olga,

Is you template build as an embedded resource?
