Integrating with Visual Editor

The return type of an inline or external C# function influences whether the function will be available in Visual Editor (Visual mode of the page editor) in the Select Function dialog.

C# functions are always available in Source Editor (source code mode of the page editor).

To make a C# function also available for insertions from Visual Editor, too, make sure that its return value is of one of these types:

• Composite.Core.Xml.XhtmlDocument
• System.Web.UI.Control

For information about using Composite.Core.Xml.XhtmlDocument in C# functions, please see “XHTML and C# Functions”.

For information about System.Web.UI.Control, please see “Control Class”.
