Generate Presentation Files

Note: This topic applies to both the Web Forms Application presentation and Web Forms Mobile Application presentation project types. Refer to Creating Web Forms Application Projects and Creating Web Forms Mobile Application Projects for more information.

To access this dialog, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the ePortal Message View window.

  2. Right-click a client message and select Generate Presentation(s)....

    You use this dialog to generate one or more .aspx and code-behind (.aspx.cs) presentation files corresponding to the selected client message.

    This dialog supplies a list of all of the .aspx presentation files which ePortal generates from the selected client message. Check the files which you wish to generate. All files are checked by default.

  3. Select the option Open each selected presentation file in the editor if you want ePortal to open the generated .aspx file in the editor after the generation completes.

  4. Click the OK button to generate each checked presentation file.

 Caution

If the presentation file that you selected already exists, the .aspx and corresponding code-behind (.aspx.cs) files will be deleted and regenerated. Deleting the .aspx and .aspx.cs files causes any individual page changes that have been made to be lost.

Refer to Reconcile Presentation Files. The Reconcile Presentation Files dialog allows you to reconcile changes in a client message to the existing presentation files, while preserving any customizations that you have performed for the presentation.
