Introduction to DNN Web Control Container and .NET Web Controls

The DNN Web Control Container is a DotNetNuke module that was developed for the purpose of rendering the new, standalone Personify Web Controls for your e-Business site. The container acts as a wrapper which enables you to choose and configure a specific Personify web control at runtime.

Web Controls are the individual pieces that are rendered by the DNN Web Control Container.

Every control extends PersonifyBaseUserControl. This gives all controls access to the following features:

·            Optional performance info (ShowPerformanceInfo=true),

·            Script helper methods for registering client-side events,

·            Access to the current user via the CurrentUser property,

·            Access to the Manager Controller via the Manager property.

The Manager Controller is the control that handles communication between controls and this includes both client and server side.
