Cannot load template from presentation data

Posted by Community Admin on 28-Jun-2011 00:00

Hi Guys,

I investigate the Products sample. During installation process the module creates a copy of embedded template for detail view in Design -> Widget Templates.
I changed this template like shown below on the screenshot1.jpg but this template is not applied. I tried to re-publish page but this didn't help. The module always loads the template from the embedded resources.

I found the following code in the Products sample:

/// <summary>

/// Gets or sets the layout template.

/// </summary>

public override ITemplate LayoutTemplate

get

if (this.layoutTemplate == null)

var tempInfo = new TemplateInfo()

TemplatePath = this.LayoutTemplatePath,

TemplateName = this.LayoutTemplateName,

TemplateResourceInfo = typeof(ProductsModule),

ControlType = this.GetType()//,

//Key = TemplateKey

;

this.layoutTemplate = ControlUtilities.GetTemplate(tempInfo);

return this.layoutTemplate;

set

this.layoutTemplate = value;

In the summary of the ControlUtilities.GetTemplate() methods has been written:

//

// Summary:

// Gets a control template. The method first tries to load a template form presentation

// data. If that fails the template is loaded either from virtual path or embedded

// resource.

//

// Parameters:

// info:

// Provides information about the template to be loaded.

Is it sufficient information to load template from presentation data in the tempInfo in the code above?
How to force module to load template from presentation data?

Thank in advance,
Anton

Hi Anton Mernov,

In case you are using SDK 4.1 SP1 or later you can remove the entire LayoutTemplate property. Take a look at how LayoutTemplatePath is implemented. Otherwise, uncomment Key = TemplateKey.
