Basically I have created a user control, wrapped it in a custom data wrapper and used it as a data type on a cms template page where there are other tabs.
Now I can Save the data from this control to my own table. However I need to save data for this control in the umbraco way. So for example
I have a property page.
A property page has a images tab, an about us tab. All thede controls are ones in umbraco. Now I add my control, features control. Int he code behind for the user control where should i save the data too. When a user clicks saves at present umbraco does the save for say a text box which was a prebuild field.
Which tables do i need to save to- is sql the best way of doing this. Where do i need to save xml.
I need a decent article explaining where to save data and how to save data in the umbraco database. So for example my property feautures which tables do i save them to.
You can store your data in custom tables, but you can also store it as xml in the Umbraco tables. Have a look at the Digibiz Email Form with TinyMCE. It saves multiple values as xml in the database. You can download the source here.
I am lost- so overide xmlnode is something umbraco calls by default which i need to override. Can i implement this code in my project as a user control or do i need to compile so then i cant step through

Thanks looking into now. Which tables do i need to store the info in
If you're using the usercontrol wrapper you don't have to worry about that. Just do it like in this example: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/28001-Get-value-from-custom-control!.
Have a look at the source code I just mentioned. There you'll see the xml will be stored as a string, but it works very easy.
