This post contains information regarding how to access both the
presentation and authoring controls within an MSIB ebizcontent
ProductPropertyPlaceholderControl. This logic comes in handy if you
need to modify the values within ebizcontent
ProductPropertyPlaceholderControls using some way other than the
authoring textbox. Modifying the CS product properties or CS tables
directly will get the product out of sync with the CMS template. This
logic will ensure that the CMS approval workflow is kept intact for
your app.
*** To access the ProductPropertyPresentationControl ***
Private Sub Page_UnLoad(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Unload
If (WebAuthorContext.Current.Mode =
WebAuthorContextMode.PresentationUnpublished) Then
Dim ph As ProductPropertyPlaceholderControl =
CType(FindControl("PlaceholderControl_A"),
ProductPropertyPlaceholderControl)
Dim ph_LiteralControl As System.Web.UI.LiteralControl =
CType(ph.Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0),
System.Web.UI.LiteralControl)
End If
End Sub
*** To access the ProductPropertyAuthoringControl ***
If ((WebAuthorContext.Current.Mode =
WebAuthorContextMode.AuthoringNew) Or (WebAuthorContext.Current.Mode =
WebAuthorContextMode.AuthoringReedit)) Then
Dim ph As ProductPropertyPlaceholderControl =
CType(FindControl("PlaceholderControl_A"),
ProductPropertyPlaceholderControl)
Dim ebizKeywordValues_Textbox As TextBox =
CType(ph.Controls(0).Controls(0).Controls(0), TextBox)
End If
*** End Example ***
NOTES:
-- The ProductPropertyPresentationControl only seems to be accessible
during the UnLoad event in the CMS PresentationUnpublished context.
-- Setting "ph.Visible = False" will not allow the control to render
-- Setting "ph.EnableAuthoring = False" will render the control, but
will not allow the control to be written to.
-- There seems to be an error in the MSIB documentation re: the
namespace for the ProductPropertyPlaceholderControl. It is
Microsoft.Solutions.Framework.WebControls rather than
Microsoft.Solutions.Framework
