Many blogs I visit regularly have a little section on the sidebar for either “Currently Reading” or “Recommended Readings”. I thought this was a neat idea and decided to add one to my own also. Luckly, this was not too hard. The skin I am currently using, OneNote, already includes MyBookShelf control and it was just a matter of modifying XML file included and PageTemplate.ascx. Steps I took to implement this control are:
1. Update books.xml with my book list: specify ISBN, title, author and image file name.
2. Update ~/Skins/Onenote/PageTemplate.ascx to include this control on the sidebar.
Easy enough… The control displayed correctly and links to Amazon.com were working correclty. There were two things I had to fix though. [Read the Entire Post]
He’s right…many things about my original control were annoying. He’s made some great improvements that are worth checking out if you’ve downloaded my control and want a little more automation.
