Retrieving the XML Structure of a ContentList 

Retrieving the XML structure of XML content allows for greater control over developing XSLs. The following is an example of how to retrieve the XML structure:

1. Open a new Web form.

2. Drag and drop a ContentList server control onto it.

3. Add at least one content ID to the ContentID property.

4. Drag and drop a Textbox on the Web form.

5. Set the TextMode property to MultiLine.

Note: Ektron recommends setting the text box width to at least 400 px.

6. On the code behind page, add the following line.

Textbox1.Text = ContentList1.XmlDoc.InnerXml

7. Build the project.

8. View the Web form in a browser.

The XML structure of the ContentList appears in the textbox.

For an additional example, see the ContentList XML page on the CMS400Developer samples page. It is located at:

In a browser:

http://<site root>/CMS400Developer/Developer/ContentList/ContentListXML.aspx

In the source code:

<site root>/CMS400Developer/Developer/ContentList/ContentListXML.aspx and ContentListXML.aspx.vb
