I am running version 3.0.0 on a site that has a macro for a .net user control with a public string. When I create the macro and click "Browse Properties" I can see the public string in the list and I added it to the properties tab of the macro. But for some reason when I put the macro into a template using the insert macro button I can pick the macro but the next page doesnt give me the option to assign a value to the parameter like it did in V2. So i just typed it into the template like this: Code:<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="ContactForm" ApplicationKeyAsString="72384792" /> This same exact control and macro code works fine in 2.0 but in my 3.0 site the parameter is never getting set. The conrol just cant see the value...Of course I triple check silly mistakes like spelling and such but to no avail. Any suggestions??

When you go to Developer->Macro->YourMacro and click on "properties", what kind of data types do your properties hold? Any way, here is a short sample of a usercontrol with properties (for a contact form) Code:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
namespace UmbracoForms
{
public partial class ContactForm : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private string smtpauthusername;
private string smtpauthpassword;
private int smtpauthmode;
private string smtpServer;
private string mailTo;
public string SMTPAuthUsername
{
get { return smtpauthusername; }
set { smtpauthusername = value; }
}
public string SMTPAuthPassword
{
get { return smtpauthpassword; }
set { smtpauthpassword = value; }
}
public int SMTPAuthMode
{
get { return smtpauthmode; }
set { smtpauthmode = value; }
}
public string SMTPServer
{
get { return smtpServer; }
set { smtpServer = value; }
}
public string MailTo
{
get { return mailTo; }
set { mailTo = value; }
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
#region Web Form Designer generated code
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
InitializeComponent();
base.OnInit(e);
}
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.btnSend.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnSend_Click);
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
}
#endregion
private void btnSend_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Build message
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mailMessage = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
string msgBody = "";
mailMessage.From = "website@mySite.com";
mailMessage.To = mailTo;
mailMessage.Subject = "A message from the site: " + txtSenderName.Text;
// Define message format either text or html
mailMessage.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html;
msgBody += "<html>";
msgBody += "<head>";
msgBody += "<style>";
msgBody += "Body {font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size:12px;}";
msgBody += "</style>";
msgBody += "<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />";
msgBody += "</head>";
msgBody += "<body>";
msgBody += txtMessageBody.Text;
msgBody += "</body>";
msgBody += "</html>";
mailMessage.Body = msgBody;
// Define SMTP server address or hostname
//System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = smtpServer;
//SMTP Auth Support
// Don't worry these don't actualy go to Microsoft there just fields.
mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver", smtpServer);
mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport", 25);
// SendUsing Local SMTP = 1 Network SMTP =2
mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing", 2);
// cdoAnonymous = 0 (do not auth) cdoBasic = 1 clear text, cdoNTLM = 2
mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", smtpauthmode);
// Username & Password
mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", smtpauthusername);
mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", smtpauthpassword);
// Send mail
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mailMessage);
txtPostMessage.Text = "Thank you. Your message has been sent successfully.";
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
// Catch any other errors
txtPostMessage.Text = exp.Message;
}
}
}
}

Thx for the reply
The data type I have chosen is "text". I have getters and setters on the properties that I need to be exposed. And the macro car see them so they must be exposed properly.
Still stumped...

So I figured out that if I take the UpdatePanel out of the .net control it starts working.
Does anyone have experience with using an UpdatePanel in their controls???

yup, just place a updatepanel and a contenttemplate around your control and the postbacks are gone Code:<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="System.Web.UI" TagPrefix="asp" %> <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel>

Yea postbacks go away but then it stops reading in my parameter. If I take out the updatepanel it starts working again but with a full page refresh.

Stab in the dark:
Are you persisting the values between requests in your control? The reason I ask is that even though the entire Page isn't posting back, your control is. Maybe the macro can only pass the value on the first load.
A workaround could be to have hidden fields in your control. Use your properties to set the values of the hidden fields. The values should then be persisted between control postbacks.

Dude, ok sorry for doing this but I have no other way of contacting you. My name is Jack Vorves. I noticed your last name, I'd like to talk sometime (trying to find family).
