If you’ve worked on an ASP.NET MVC site, you may have had to reference the ID in the current route. In a Razor view you can reference it via the following variable: @Url.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["id"] You may use this a lot if you have a lot of inter-action navigation. Why not throw it into an extension method!? [...]

Ever need to inject some custom validation into a BizForm? Check it: Below I’ve provided a method you can drop into your BizForm code behind, or the code behind of a BizForm clone. Then, call this method from an event handle for the OnBeforeValidate event. If Field A has a value this validation method forces [...]

I ran into this fun issue the other day where I I couldn’t access one of my sites. I assumed it was a problem with ASP.NET so I uninstalled it. To my dismay, the reinstall failed! That has never happened before! The problem was actually a simple one. I had moved one of the many [...]

In this article I’ll show you how to create a special type of BizForm that will allow each user to edit their specific form data over and over. When a user returns to a page that has the BizForm on it, their data will be automatically loaded from the BizForm table. This is a simple and easy way to store per user data, without mucking with the System Tables which aren’t intended to store this type of data. You also retain the benefits that a BizForm has over a System Table (A view of the data, Notifications, attachments, etc.)[...]

Kentico is great but nobody is perfect! One small detail they’ve missed is a checkbox control that you can set to be “required”. By required I mean “You have to check this box”. After doing some Googling, I found this thread which confirmed my suspicion: http://devnet.kentico.com/Forums/f45/t17269/Making-a-Required-CheckBox-in-Alternative-Form.aspx?replyto=17359 “We have validators for empty values, which means that [...]

If you ever do something like this… try { // Some potentially dangerous code } catch (Exception ex) { // Do nothing and swallow the exception } …DON’T. There is never a good reason to do this! If you have this code in a Class Library the problem is magnified! Doing this makes it hard [...]

Kentico has an email template feature that is used in many areas of the CMS. When a user registers, posts to the forum, or places an order in the E-Commerce system, they are sent an email from a predefined template that has been filled with their information. I’ll show you how easy it is to leverage this feature in your own code.

A coworker of mine had a BizForm in Kentico that needed a dynamic URL Redirection after the form was submitted. Based on the page with the BizForm, the user would be redirected to a different thank you page. There are many reasons you could want dynamic thank you pages for a single form. For starters, it’s a lot easier to manage one set of data. Then there are the SEO benefits of having separate thank you pages. Don’t forget you might simply want different content, or another page/template entirely!
