Working with Data
If you want to work with data (like from a database) instead of block-content (which are data items assigned to one instance) you need to get it from somewhere and then loop through it. Typical data comes from:
- the current App, using
App.Data[...]
- a query in the App, using
Kit.Data.GetQuery(...)
- a SQL database - either through an
App Query
, from aDataSource
or from aSqlReader
- a CSV file - either through an
App Query
, from aDataSource
or from your own code - DNN objects like the users - either through an
App Query
, from aDataSource
, from DNN-objects or from your own code - a JSON or XML file - usually loaded from your own code
- a WebService - usually loaded from your own code
Once you have the data, you will usually want to loop-and-show, which is easiest using dynamic
objects, so you can just type things like @Content.FirstName
to show the properties.
