I can't seem to get this to function correctly, or may be I don't understand it.....

 

Client Side:

To Set:  dnn.setVar('mySetting', 'ABC')

 

Server Side:

To Initialize, in Form Load

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

   DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.RegisterClientVariable(Me.Page, "mySetting", "123", True)

End if

To read var:  Dim myVal As String = DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.GetClientVariable(Me.Page, "mySetting")

 

Questions......

Does mySetting get defined anywhere?

When I get the setting on the client side, it always contains my initial value of "123".  It should be "ABC".

This should work assuming your client-side code is run and are doing a postback.  Got a url I can look at, or better at a simple module to review?

Thanks for the reply.  My problem was because I didn't include the RegisterClientReference.

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

If DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.BrowserSupportsFunctionality(DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.ClientFunctionality.DHTML) Then

DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.RegisterClientReference(Me.Page, DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.ClientNamespaceReferences.dnn)

End If

DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.RegisterClientVariable(Me.Page, "MySetting", "Available", True)

End If
