    Looking for help designing a user control for umbraco

    Extending Umbraco

    Greetings,

    I am new to the Umbraco system and was hoping to recieve some advice regarding a user control I plan on building.

    Basically I have an external database with more than 50 tables, I want to allow users to import data into these tables (one at a time) with a csv file, VisualFoxPro, or an excel document.

    I plan on using the ADO.NET framework and DataTables in my user control (c#)

    Besides registering my .NET user control in the umbraco system, and setting up my Connection Strings

    what are some other considerations I need to be wary of and would adding something like this be practical or do-able?

    -John

    It should be no problem. (From a Umbraco standpoint, i.e. assuming you're able to make the user control itself)

    Just create the user control and add it to the dashboard.config (and add the connection string to web.config).
