Hi,
What I want is to display
a paginable list from my custom data source. All came from the fact that I needed some logical relationships
between seach scopes
and some dates. I considered ContentQueryWebpart, but CAML is too complicated as I have plenty of different conditions, CoreResults webpart is too limited as it uses KeyWordQuery so
I inherited from DataFormWebPart to display my own custom search results from my own custom xml source. Thats the best way i am aware of...
I knew I needed some configuration to write in my pageLayout like MyWebParts:MyCustomWebPart etc so I went to Designer, put DataFormWebPart on
a page,
linked it to list of pages,
and set multiple item view
and that gave me some configuration..
Firstly i checked if DataFormWebPart works when put on pageLayout
and it sucessfully displayed my pages list in pages library.
But that was not what I wanted, i needed to set my own XML data source...
I then changed the configuration of WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart to match mine
and
detach from any listName or listId
and I change the XSL tag to much simplier to display all results
and now I am getting:
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this
Web page in
a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor
such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact
your Web server administrator.
and there is no way to know what is wrong:/
The webpart
public class MyCustomWebPart : DataFormWebPart{
public override void DataBind()
{ ......
XmlDataSource source = new XmlDataSource();
source.Data = doc.InnerXml;
this.DataSource=source;
base.DataBind();
}
}
The doc XML:
<dsQueryResponse><Rows><Row
URL="http://myserver/sites/sc/myDoc.doc" TITLE="Specification.doc" AUTHOR="System.String[]" /></Rows></dsQueryResponse>
The webpart is in PageLayout, inserted without webpartzone:
