Thread: New to aspdotnetsf looking for guidance

We were finally given complete access to a site we had developed recently. Now that the site is in our hands I would like to learn how to make updates to the appearance of the site myself instead of paying another company to do simple updates.

I'm having a hard time determining which files contain the html code used to display the "front page" of our site.

I understand that in template.aspx the page content is being called from the code <asp:PlaceHolder ID="PageContent" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>

17. You will have one more critical line in your skin template. This line tells the store
where to put the “contents” (the main page content block) for the page. This
content varies by whatever is being shown. It could be a category listing, a
product page, the shopping cart page, a checkout page, etc. So each page has a
content block that is rendered into this line in the file:

<asp:placeholder id="PageContent" runat="server"></asp:placeholder>
If you forget to put that placeholder into your template, no store “content” will be
displayed.

How do I determine where the content code for "a category listing, a
product page, the shopping cart page, a checkout page, etc" is being stored?

I am not new to programming, and I know some about asp/xml, but I am still finding myself a little lost as to how this software works.

Are there any "getting started" resources on the internet that explain how aspdotnetsf operates at a basic level?

I am trying to learn all of this as well. Have you looked at the object heirarchy overview diagram? This is located here

Look at the other resources section in the lower right corner of the page.

Good luck.
