Building a Module for Sitefinity (part 5) : Module structure
The Contacts pluggable module will be made of two assemblies : Sample.Contacts and Sample.Contacts.Data
The business logic and UI will be implemented in Sample.Contacts module, while the data access we’ll be done through the Sample.Contacts.Data assembly. Take a look at the following diagram to see the big picture :
Sample.Contacts assembly
There are five main parts of this [...]
Building a Module for sitefinity (part 4) : Creating mock-ups
In this post we’ll only cover the mock-ups for the admin area of our module. Later on, we’ll get to the mock-ups for the public controls.
Since the contacts module we are building is pretty simple and straightforward, we really need just the mock-ups for two different screens in our admin area. One is the default [...]
Building a Module for sitefinity (part 3) : Setting up the project
After we have explained the basic concepts behind every Sitefinity module the time has come to leave the theory behind us, roll up our sleeves and do some building.
In order to create a module you need to create a new C# project and in it’s most rudimentary version, you need three files inside of this [...]
Building a Module for sitefinity (part 2) : The concept
Module is integrated in Sitefinity modules section as an assembly. This means that in order to create your own module you need to create a new C# project (Class library). The core class in this module you will name any way that you find suitable (for example : ListModule, MyModule…), but the important thing here [...]

Project #1 – Image gallery User Control (Part 2)
NOTE : This post is a part of a series. Read first part if you’ve missed it.
[VB.NET example]
So, after we have uploaded the images, now it’s time to create a user control that will display them. In case you are unfamiliar with using User Controls in Sitefinity consult Developer Manual on that subject. You can [...]
Project #1 – Image gallery User Control (Part 1)
Note : The images in this project are taken from www.sxc.hu and are ownership of their respective authors. I’ve used animals because the constraints for using actual people are a bit more complex.
For the first project I’ve chose something simple yet very useful: an Image gallery User Control. The scenario is very common. Let’s say [...]
Welcome to the “Projects” category
Learning by an example is probably the oldest method of teaching and since it’s been around for such a long time, it’s surely one of the better methods. In this category we’ll every so often take apart particular project into pieces and describe how it is built in series of posts.
Projects may include simple projects, [...]
