Configuring the My Meetings Control

The My Meetings control displays a list of up to four meetings that a logged in user has purchased. It also displays links that allow users to view the agenda and order summary for the meeting(s). If a user is registered for more than four meetings, he/she can navigate to Purchase History control to see all meeting registrations. The My Meetings control will only display parent products and will not display any subproducts. In addition, it will only display active meetings; proforma and cancelled meetings will not display. See Configuring the Web Settings for the My Meetings Control for more information on how to drop this control onto a page on your e-Business website.

 

Before configuring the My Meetings control, it is important that your back office configurations are accurate. If not, these configurations will not display properly on your e-Business website. See Configuring the Back Office Settings for the My Meetings Control for more information on the system types and codes that need to be web enabled before setting up this control.

            <appSettings>
            <add key="DefaultCulture" value="en-US"/>
