Executing Custom Code within a Chameleon Code

Most Chameleon control's ITemplate properties (LeaderTemplate, ContentTemplate, FooterTemplate, etc.) support ASP.net inline databinding syntax.

For example, to show the current blog post's URL (as rendered text), you could use the following code:

<CSBlog:WeblogPostData runat="server">
   <ContentTemplate>
      <%# BlogUrls.Instance().Post(WeblogControlUtility.Instance().GetCurrentWeblogPost(this)) %>
   </ContentTemplate>
</CSBlog:WeblogPostData>

You do not need to add a null check for the result of GetCurrentWeblogPost(this) because the <CSBlog:WeblogPostData /> control will databind and render only if there is a currently bound WeblogPost object.
