LightSwitch Control ViewIDs

  • Article

When you create a LightSwitch screen template extension, use ViewIDs to define the default controls. Every ViewID must have the module:control form, in which control is the name of the control, and module is the name of the module in which the control is defined.

Important

With the introduction of multiple client types in LightSwitch for Visual Studio 2013 the module portion of the ViewID changed to include a ClientType identifier. For extensions targeting earlier versions of Lightswitch, use the notation Microsoft.LightSwitch:control. For extensions targeting Visual Studio 2013, use Microsoft.LightSwitch.RichClient:control for Silverlight client screens, or Microsoft.LightSwitch.MobileWeb:control for HTML client screens.

Note

You can also use the module:control notation for any installed control extensions.
