Hi Navneet,

If this is a windows application the only way to populate some controls with data in Sitefintiy is by using a web service or WCF

You could a take a look at our Jobs sample module included in the SDK package.

Inside the module and its Install method you need to create a new BackendContentView and initialize your own definition where you call the custom web service.

sample

public override void Install(SiteInitializer initializer)

var pageManager = initializer.PageManager;

var modulesNode = pageManager.GetPageNode(SiteInitializer.ModulesNodeId);

....

.....

var id = this.LandingPageId;

var landingPage =

pageManager.GetPageNodes()

.SingleOrDefault(p => p.Id == id);

if (landingPage == null)

var pageInfo = new PageElement()

PageId = this.LandingPageId,

Name = "CustomModule",

MenuName = "CustomModuleTitle",

UrlName = "CustomModuleUrlName",

Description = "CustomModuleDescription",

HtmlTitle = "CustomModuleHtmlTitle",

ResourceClassId = ResourceClassId,

IncludeScriptManager = true,

ShowInNavigation = false,

EnableViewState = false,

TemplateName = SiteInitializer.BackendTemplateName

;

var controlPanel = new BackendContentView()

ModuleName = CustomModule.ModuleName,

ControlDefinitionName = CustomModuleDefinitions.BackendCustomModuleDefinitionName

;

initializer.CreatePageFromConfiguration(pageInfo, moduleNode, controlPanel);

definition

public class CustomModuleDefinitions

static CustomModuleDefinitions()

SystemManager.GetApplicationModule(CustomModule.ModuleName);

internal static ContentViewControlElement DefineCustomModuleBackendContentView(ConfigElement parent)

/

var backendContentView = new ContentViewControlElement(parent)

ControlDefinitionName = BackendCustomModuleDefinitionName,

ContentType = typeof(ModuleItem)

;

MasterGridViewElement customModuleGridView = new MasterGridViewElement(backendContentView.ViewsConfig)

ViewName = CustomModuleDefinitions.BackendCustomModuleListViewName,

ViewType = typeof(MasterGridView),

AllowPaging = true,

DisplayMode = FieldDisplayMode.Read,

ItemsPerPage = 50,

ResourceClassId = typeof(CustomModuleResources).Name,

SortExpression = "Title ASC",

Title = "CustomModuleTitle",

SearchFields = "Title",

GridCssClass = "sfListViewGrid",

ClientMappedCommnadNames = customModuleClientMappedCommnadNames,

WebServiceBaseUrl = "~/Sitefinity/Services/Content/CustomModuleService.svc/"

;

var externalScripts = new Dictionary<string, string>();

externalScripts.Add("Telerik.Sitefinity.Samples.CustomModule.Web.Scripts.CustomModuleMasterGridViewExtensions.js, Telerik.Sitefinity", "OnMasterViewLoaded");

customModuleGridView.ExternalClientScripts = externalScripts;
