Hello There,

I am kind of new to DNN and need some help with the UDT contribution.

I am using DNN with UDT module installed and succesfully created several tables.
however, i am also trying to automate some processes by calling the export method of a certain table programatiicaly from another page within DNN.

I was wondering how this is possible.
I am developing with VS2008.

thank you in advance,

Koby O.

I suggest not using the export function, instead catch the data directly:

Dim ds as System.Data.DataSet
Dim udt as New DotNetNuke.Modules.UserDefinedTable.UserDefinedTableController()
ds = udt.GetDataSet(ModuleID)

You can query the XML by ds.getXml()

Yap, that seem like the type of code that i needed.

can you also let me know what would be the best method for importing data to a UDT programatically?

thank you very much for the help.

Koby O.

Check out the source of the UserDefinedTable module and look at UserDefinedTableController.Import

That code is going to be obsolete, this was subject of change for form and List.

form and List is going to have a new Sub
UserDefinedTableController.UpdateRow(ByVal ds As DataSet, ByVal RowNr As Integer, ByVal IsDataToImport As Boolean)
which will help you a lot better.

Stefan,

in reference to this reply i was trying to code this as mentioned, but when asigning the ds=udt.GetDataSet(ModuleID) command i get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error. the module ID i refer to is 368 which is suppose to be the correct one.

any ideas why is it hapening?
