Hi all,

Where can i find the source code of SalesLogix Web.
I beleive that all files are going in to the VSF.
But i want to open the files in .Net and i need to customize that.
How can i find the source file path.

Thanks
-Pandi.

It is available in the directory itself from where the site is running.
Although I would recommend not to try doing customizations on your own.
Get a help from either a SLX partner or from Sage.
Else would recommend to have training from Sage or other private trainings like SLX developer was conducting.

If you are doing any changes they should be done in such a manner that changes are not overwritten and they do not interfere with any existing functionality.

I agree that.
But i feel that it is compiled files(C:\Inetpub\SlxClient) because if i made any changes in that, then it is not there when i am re deploying the site again.
So please let me know where should i do all the changes and it should be permanent.

It sounds like you are trying to take a quickform custom. This is a pretty common thing to do since a quickform will often get you 90% of the way there and save you a lot of typing.

The files in the VFS (or LFS if you're working on disk) are xml files that are used to generate the .ascx files. If you want to customize these ascx files, you'll need to add them (and the corresponding resource files) back into the Filesystem so they get deployed each time. To do this, do the following:
- Open App Architect and view the Project Explorer
- Navigate to Portal Manager -> SalesLogix (or whatever portal you're working on) -> SupportFiles -> SmartParts
- Right click on the appropriate directory (it will have the same name as the directory on the website) and choose 'Add Existing Files'
- Navigate to your inetpub/wwroot/SlxClient/SmartParts/xxx directory and choose the file to add
- Be sure to do this for the resource file as well.

Note that you can create the folder in project explorer if it does not exist. You'll also need to create a subdirectory 'App_LocalResources' for the resource file.

Once you do this, it is a good idea to delete the quickform version as it may be confusing to you and other developers in the future. Also note that you need to repeat this process, or cut and paste any code that you modify in the website using Studio back into AA, or you will lose your changes on subsequent deployments.
