Couple of criticisms: Queuing hasn't been based on MSMQ for ages. Was that 5.1? Somewhere back in the mists of time anyway. C# is the only language? No - assembly TBBs can be written in any .NET language. I haven't come across it, but VB.Net would be a good candidate (if only for XML literals) Can't use Tridion for lots of small sites (too expensive) - Well it depends. I've seen it used in a SaaS model. It would all depend on your license agreement. But sure - mostly Tridion is for the enterprise. Nice deck. Couple of criticisms:

It sounds like your method adds a layer of complexity that is not necessary, but perhaps I misunderstand. All the best, Graham Hi RC,

I’m not sure what the benefit is of your method over simply adding each Article Component to the list of ComponentPresentations and choosing the same ComponentTemplate each time.

It sounds like your method adds a layer of complexity that is not necessary, but perhaps I misunderstand.

All the best,

Graham

Then use for loop, as you have done above, to render the list in the order they are added. The one which is added first to List goes on left and so on. What do you think about this approach ? just wanted to know your opinion. Thanks Hi,
