GotDotNet Code Samples

There are currently 155 genuine User Samples on GotDotNet.
I don't include links to non MCMS samples posted to the MCMS section, or my GDN samples here!
GotDotNet is often offline (especially the downloads section) so I recommend you use this page along with a download tool such as FlashGet to grab the samples.

HttpModule to allow usage of PostBackUrl property with MCMS and ASP.NET 2.0 by Stefan Gossner
ASP.NET 2.0 introduces a new feature to allow cross-Postbacks to other webforms using the PostBackUrl property. This method is very nice and allows to replace ugly workaround that were required in ASP.NET 1.x like using GET requests with query strings or adding client side script that cleared the viewstate form field. There is only one caveat with this new method: It does not work with MCMS 2002. MCMS 2002 Service Pack 2 which is required to allow MCMS to work with ASP.NET 2.0 adds some additional client side javascript code that prevents the PostBackUrl property from working properly as it always changes the Url back to the MCMS template file. So the logic of this client side script does not handle the cross-Postback situation correct. This http module allows to resolve the problem. See here for details: http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gossner/archive/2006/02/15/419617.aspx

Mostly when something goes wrong with postings, it is not that easy to figure out what went wrong with neither Site Manager nor going through the site.

HttpModule to Replace Characters On Render (un-escape Telerik r.a.d.Editor characters) by Angus Logan
When you set AllowSpecialTags=True with the Telerik r.a.d.Editor to allow non html tags (ie. <object> etc) they replace <> with ~LT~ ~GT~. The radEditor will un-escape these characters when used for presentation but if you are manually retrieving the HtmlPlaceholder.Html the value is still escaped - so your content looks garbled.

SiteStager for ASP.NET and ASP based templates by Stefan Gossner
MCMS 2002 does not allow to create a static copy of a MCMS Web site with ASP.NET based templates. Creating static copies is often very useful – e.g. when you create a CHM file based on your web site content or if you would like to archive a snapshot of the website at a specific time for documentation. The recommended method to create a static copy of a MCMS web site is to use a 3rd party web crawling tool. The problem with such tools is that they usually fail to work when the links between the posting are not rendered as html link but (e.g.) created with client side XML/XSL or JavaScript. This tool does not have this limitation.

Build the source using the command line shown in the source file. For convenience I've included a pre-compiled assembly (.NET 1.1). The four MCMS files are also required to run the application so keep them in the same folder as the .exe.
