I hope this helps . Like @Veselin said, you cannot mix MVC and user controls. You can either register your user control as a widget or use MVC to create the widget.

SiteFinity 4.0: Trouble Accessing Postback Data in Custom User Control

By : MikeGC

Date : March 29 2020, 07:55 AM

This might help you Never mind - I figured it out. For some reason, data isn't available at the Page_Load stage of the .net page lifecycle in a sitefinity form submission (at least not via a custom user control). If I wait until the Page_PreRender stage to retrieve the data from the form on the page, it's all there.
My current prevailing theory is that Sitefinity 4.0 grabs the postback data when a form submits and hasn't finished monkeying around with it at the Page_Load stage, so you have to wait until the Page_PreRender stage before sitefinity has injected the data back into the page cycle.

ASP.NET validation group disappears (in Sitefinity user control)

With these it helps I'm not sure if this is the cause, but by default, Sitefinity pages have Viewstate disabled. Open the Properties of the page (under the Actions menu in the list of pages in the backend) and check the box to enable viewstate and let me know if that resolves the issue.
hope this is helpful!

Trouble with creating export control for Sitefinity widget using MVC

By : jee

Date : March 29 2020, 07:55 AM

it fixes the issue You need to change the pageArray from System.Web.UI.Page to Telerik.Sitefinity.Pages.Model.PageNode
Depending on which version of Sitefinity that you are using. Since version 7.0 the metadata information which was previously located in PageData is now located in PageNode.

code :

public ActionResult Index()
{ 
    List<PageNode> pageArray = new List<PageNode>();

    //// Use Sitefinity API get all pages
    IQueryable<PageNode> pageNodes = App.WorkWith().Pages().Where(pN => (pN.Page != null && pN.Page.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)).Get();
    foreach (var page in pageNodes) 
       pageArray.Add(page);

    return Json(pageArray, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

How to check if user is logged in (authenticated) in Sitefinity widget template?

To fix this issue Because the Sitefinity widget templates are essentially just ascx files what you can do is create another custom user control and then reference that from your widget template instead of going the code behind route.
I've modified your code to use the Sitefinity api to check if the user is logged in, you can use this in the page load event for your new control that you'll register on the widget template:

code :

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if  (ClaimsManager.GetCurrentIdentity().IsAuthenticated)
        UserStatus.Text = "Logged in";
    else
        UserStatus.Text = "Not logged in";
}

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Claims;

<%@ Register TagName="LoginStatus" TagPrefix="Custom" Src="~/Controls/LoginStatus/LoginStatus.ascx" %>

<Custom:LoginStatus runat="server" />

I hope this helps you . You need to set the path to the user control (ascx) not in the Controller CLR Type field, but in Control CLR Type or Virtual Path field.
So, just cut it from the former field and paste it in the latter field and you should be fine.
