Building Websites with Microsoft Content Management Server

Overview of this book

Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 is a dynamic web publishing system with which you can build websites quickly and cost-efficiently. MCMS provides the administration, authoring, and data management functionality, and you provide the website interface, logic, and workflow. Once your website is up and running, your content contributors can add and edit content on their own, without the need to work with developers or the IT department. First time developers of Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 face a relatively steep learning curve. Not only are they expected to be conversant in the Microsoft .NET Framework, they are also required to be familiar with the concepts of MCMS 2002. Many beginners to MCMS start out by looking at the example site that ships with the product; tweaking it, dissecting it and turning it inside out using the obscure code comments as markers. However, when it comes to starting their own website from scratch, many are baffled ? where do they begin? This book exists to answer that question; teaching the essential concepts of MCMS 2002 in a clear, straightforward and practical manner. Containing answers to some of the most asked questions in developer newsgroups, this book is a treasure trove of tricks and tips for solving the problems faced by MCMS developers. This is a unique resource focused exclusively on the needs of developers using MCMS. It doesn?t waste time and pages on user or administrator level information that is well covered in other documentation. It?s a distillation of practical experience that developers need to get results, fast. The authors carefully structured example project complements and extends the knowledge gained from an initial look at the examples that ship with MCMS.

Unless you enter the credentials of a user who has the rights to view the page, you will keep being returned to the login page. To provide a way out, it is a good idea to add a hyperlink that leads the visitor from the login page to the referring page or at least to a part of the site that is accessible.

With Login.aspx opened in Design view, drag and drop a Hyperlink control from the Web Forms Toolbox onto the form as shown in the following figure:

Give the Hyperlink the following properties:

Property

Value

ID

hypBack

Text

Back To Previous Page

Double-click on the form to get to its code-behind file. Add logic to the Page_Load() event handler to populate the NavigateUrl property of the hyperlink with the URL of the referring page.

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   // Put user code to initialize the page here		...
