Steps to code a portlet

Steps to create a portlet - jics wiki

1. Create a class library project, and set a bunch of custom settings

• Change the assembly name (see assembly naming conventions)
  
• Set a post-build event that copies the compiled files into the correct directories (see directory naming conventions)
  
• Enable debugging
  
• Add reference to Jenzabar.Portal.Framework.Web
  

2. Create a C# class that inherits from PortletBase, which contains a GetCurrentScreen() function.

• Ordinary portlets inherit from PortletBase
• Secured portlets inherit from SecuredPortletBase
• GetCurrentScreen() determines which view will be loaded when the portlet loads.
  

3. Create a user control for each view you want to use for your portlet

• Required views are Default_view and Main_view
• Each usercontrol inherits from the C# base class you created earlier.
• Ordinary portlets inherit from PortletBase
• Secured portlets inherit from SecuredPortletBase
