Working with simple control designers on SF 4.1 with sp1

Hi,

I am following this tutorial to create a control with a couple of friendly fields appearing when I hit edit.
It was my understanding that I have to use a custom control and control designers for that but I never used it before and the above tutorial didn't make it very clear.

I have setup a website and a couple of pages and I would like a control that manages news items.
I would like to allow the admin user to select a news category and only show items from there.

Do I have to create a class library project and write my code there?
(That is how I started but I'm not able to add the ascx in step "Creating a template" of the tutorial).


Thank you,
Ancuta

Hi Ancuta,

To create a control follow this tutorial. You write your code in the code behind of the web control, you add the .ascx file trough add new item --> web control as described in the link.

Hope this information helps you
