Replacement of Standard Methods

Beginning with Release 4.7, Ektron CMS400.NET utilizes ASP.NET server controls, which replace most Standard ASP.NET methods. With Ektron CMS400.NET’s new toolbox of pre-built, reusable, data-bindable ASP.NET controls, Ektron empowers developers working in Visual Studio to rapidly integrate Ektron CMS components into their templates and sites. For more Information on Ektron CMS400.NET controls, see Working with Ektron CMS400.NET Server Controls.

The following examples shows the Login server control added by drag and drop vs. adding a Login method by the ASP.NET method.

Best Practice Ektron recommends using CMS400.NET server controls when available over Ektron standard ASP.NET methods. The methods are being replaced by the server controls.
