Can you link me to the ASP.NET tools you mentioned? I'm not familiar
with any ASP-specific OpenSocial resources that can help you achieve
what you're after.
As far as the dynamic IFrame URL solution I proposed above, it works a
bit like this:
1. Declare an IFrame in your Content element: <iframe id="appFrame"></
iframe>
2. Declare an on-load handler that requests any data you want to
display inside of your app:
gadgets.util.registerOnLoadHandler(onLoad);
function onLoad() {
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.OWNER),
'owner');
req.send(callback);
};
3. In the callback function, set the source URL of the IFrame, passing
in the data you want to display as a URL argument. For example, in the
callback below, I've passed the owner's name through the URL, and your
ASP.NET page can then get this name and display it as it builds the
page that gets rendered.
function callback(data) {
var owner = data.get('owner').getData();
var appFrame = document.getElementById('appFrame');
if (owner) {
appFrame.src = 'http://www.mydomain.com/app.aspx?ownerName=' +
encodeURIComponent(owner.getDisplayName);
}
};
Keep in mind that this should work fine for data where the length is
generally known (e.g. the name which typically won't exceed 25
characters), but this isn't a good approach if you want to display the
user's friends since you won't be able to fit 100 friend names in the
URL and having several hundred friends is not uncommon.
I hope this helps -- let me know if you have more questions on this.
