How to add code-behind code to umbraco templates?

Question

Hello,

I am getting started with umbraco 4.5.2.
I have my site up and running, and I am designing templates using some ASP.NET controls. How can I respond to events from these controls?

For example, I have added a Button to a template. How can I edit the code-behind file to perform some action whenever the button is clicked?

Thank you,

Martin Wiboe

Hi @Martin,

You can actually create fully functional ASP.NET .ascx Controls, and wrap them in a Macro to display inside your template/page.

Check out this excellent video on how to do this.

Good luck!
