Rob, stop spamming about XSLT It’s just bad

“It’s not even possible to assign a value to a variable for a second time.”
That’s because it’s a functional programming language; it’s actually by design (rather than a missing feature). Variable, here, means something like this:
“Varying, in the context of mathematical variables, does not mean change in the course of time, but rather dependence on the context in which the variable is used.”

It’ll make more sense to mathematicians than to programmers, but at least there’s a reasonable explanation. Other functional programming languages work the same way, tho some may have implemented a work-around (and possibly violate the functional programming paradigm in doing so).

Ok thanks a lot, I thought you meant linq2sql in your original post.
I was unaware there was something like linq2umbraco.

Thanks for the help!

These are indeed very basic Umbraco questions. If you have any questions in the future, please use http://our.umbraco.org, there are lot’s of helpful people over there This blog isn’t really a forum you know
Anyway:
1. There is no DB communication. The XSLT uses the umbraco XML cache file. .NET uses this file too when you’re using the umbraco NodeFactory or Linq2Umbraco.
2. When I want to Save and Publish a new or altered Document Like:
Document d = new Document(docId);
d.GetProperty(“someProperty”).value = “some value”;
d.SaveAndPublish();

You must declare “using InfoCaster.Umbraco.Library;” when you want to use the extension methods.

Ok sounds very nice. I’ll give this method a try for future projects.

I got 2 more newbish questions if you dont mind:

- You communicate with the DB in the masterpages. I hope this only happens upon publishing (to generate static pages without DB calls in the frontend)? I’m not that familiar with the caching/publishing mechanism and find it a bit odd that you use DB calls where xslt (that works on the cache xml) is normally used.

- When and where do you use the SaveAndPublish extension method in your extension methods file?

Thanks a lot for the replies

Yes, it works just like a ‘normal’ ASP.NET project. We always deploy using the built-in Visual Studio Deploy option. Code-behind files will not be deployed, instead the binary file (assembly) of the project will be deployed.

yes but I mean, when u add new usercontrols and masterpages this way, the usercontrols and masterpages have .cs codebehind files, right? How do you deploy afterwards?

Nope, I just downloaded the compiled version of umbraco And I encapsulate the compiled version with this Visual Studio solution

@kipusoep

if its everything together, don’t you have .cs files in the umbraco installation then? how do you deal with that?
