Hello all,<br/>
I have a contact form Macro that is using a .NET usercontrol. The macro has properties which configure the contact form. At the moment the properties are hard coded in the template. Is there a way I can use the document nodes properties to allow the client to configure the contact form easily??<br/>
Below is what I thought of but it does not work.<br/>
<br/>
<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="ContactForm" EmailTo="<?UMBRACO_GETITEM field="EmailTo"/>"></?UMBRACO_MACRO><br/>
<br/>
Can anyone help me please??<br/>

Hi Warren,

I believe you can use the following:

<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="ContactForm" EmailTo="[#EmailTo]" />

as described in the article: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Samples_and_Articles/Dot_Net_Controls/Using_Page_Properties_In_UserControls

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
