    Changes to Custom IndexProviders Implementation in Sitefinity 3.6 SP1

    Posted Under: Web Development Tags: Sitefinity

    In case you are using some of the Custom Index Providers I blogged about previously, you may encounter some errors when upgrading to the new Sitefinity 3.6 SP1 that was released this week.

    The problem is that the IIndexerInfo interface how requires a new method, ResolveIndexPath().

    While I could simply call the Insert function of the TableAdapter twice, this method requires that each field be explicitly submitted as a parameter, and since the data is coming from textboxes, and there are about a dozen boxes on the page, that's a whole lot of textbox.Text.Trim() arguments!...
