ContentReview Class

The ContentReview server control has two ways it can be used. The first, places a star based rating scale on any page of your Web site. The scale lets Ektron CMS400.NET collect feedback by giving site visitors the opportunity to rate a particular content item. An item is rated when a visitor clicks on a star. Depending on the XSLT chosen, visitors can also submit review comments.

The second way the ContentReview control can be used is to retrieve and display visitor reviews and comments. In this mode, the control can display reviews of a content item or reviews by a specific site or membership user.
