Working with selectors Part One: Content selector, Image selector, Document selector.

I'm going to start a session of some posts about selectors in Sitefinity. There won't be a lot of coding, because I will describe some general aspects of the topic. In this post I will work with user control and selectors will be set as a properties of this control.

We will define selectors in the code behind of our user control.

1. Content selector.

Content Selector

As a result the Guid of a selected item will be returned. You can browse from Generic_Content, News,

Blogs, Images and Documents, Events.

#region Properties
 
  //content selector 
     [WebEditor("Telerik.Cms.Engine.WebControls.ContentSelector, Telerik.Cms.Engine")]
  public Guid SelectContent
     {
  get 
         {
  return this.selectContent;
         }
  set 
         {
  this.selectContent = value;
         }
     }
  //declare Provider Name property 
  public virtual string ProviderName
     {
  get 
         {
  return this.providerName;
         }
  set 
         {
  this.providerName = value;
         }
     }
 
  private Guid selectContent;
  private string providerName = string.Empty;
 
 #endregion

2. Image and document selectors

Image selector

Document Selector

 //image selector 
     [WebEditor("Telerik.Libraries.WebControls.ImageSelector, Telerik.Libraries")]
  public string SelectImage
     {
  get 
         { return this.image; }
  set 
         { this.image = value; }
     }
  private string image;
 
  //document selector 
    [WebEditor("Telerik.Libraries.WebControls.DocumentsSelector, Telerik.Libraries")]
  public string SelectDoc
     {
  get 
         { return this.doc; }
  set 
         { this.doc = value; }
     }
  private string doc;
