Creation of new module

Hi,

Can someone provide some guide on how to use the codesmith generators to create a module that retrieves, update, insert and delete data from the database and display data in a data grid?

I have created the database table and run the following generators:

mp_UI-starter-ModuleControlGenerator.cst - Create empty module

mp_MySQL_DataLayerGenerator.cst - Generate data layer

mp_BusinessClassStubber.cst - Generate business layer

mp_Table_ToGridView-IListBinding.cst - Generate data grid inside module

Had managed to install the module into MojoPortal and got the grid displayed but no data is being populated..

Can someone advise me here?

 

Thanks

Re: Creation of new module

It does not produce a completed result it just produces helpful starter code, you have to finish it and to do that you have to understand the code it does generate. Like if it has a method for BindGrid, you have to call that method in PageLoad. If you are using in place editing or any postback you need t wrap the call to BindGrid inside if(!Page.IsPsotback) and you have to do your own implementation for events. 

Hope it helps,

Joe
