Write Xml/Script in Server Side

Hi,

Is there any way to write the Xml/Script other than using the XmlWriter. I mean is there any sever side object model of atlas, which I can utilize to generate these scripts. Can you guys please give an estimated time when the complete documentation is publicly available?

You can write XML Script in one of two ways:

- You can just have static XML-script directly on the ASP.NET page. The script can use ASP.NET databinding expressions, and even repeaters.

- You can use the Atlas ScriptManager control, which provides an object model to help you generate scripts from ASP.NET server controls. For a couple of examples, check out Nikhil's blog post:

- If you have a control or extender that needs to write script, you can register with the ScriptManager by calling RegisterControl, and implement the RenderScript method. For an example, see:

You could create your own custom ATLAS control implementing the RenderScript method of the IScriptControl interface. For instance the following implementation:

public void RenderScript(ScriptTextWriter writer)
{
//Outputs <control> tag
GenericScriptComponent gsc = new GenericScriptComponent(new ScriptTypeDescriptor("control", ScriptNamespace.Default));
//Outputs <behaviors> tag
gsc.ID = this.ClientID;
GenericScriptComponent draggableBehavior = new GenericScriptComponent(new ScriptTypeDescriptor("draggableListItem", ScriptNamespace.Default));
draggableBehavior.AddValueProperty("handle", this.ClientID);
gsc.AddCollectionItem("behaviors", draggableBehavior);
((IScriptObject)gsc).RenderScript(writer);
}

will output the following XML-Script:

<control id="webPart1">
<behaviors>
<draggableListItem handle="webPart1Title" />
</behaviors>
</control>
