    <p>I have just started exploring code generation using Sitecore Rocks. I found this question on this topic <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/18955719/468718">here</a> and solved the code generating <a href="http://www.harshbaid.in/2013/09/23/code-generation-using-sitecore-rocks-and-visual-studio/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">detailed here</a> however I could not find any documentation or blog on how to use the generated code.</p> <p>Currently I have coded to get the Sitecore Item using <code>GetItem</code> method in Sitecore Api and then contruct the DataTemplate class by passing Sitecore <code>Item</code> in the constructor. I have provided code in below:</p> <p><strong>User Control property logic:</strong></p> <pre><code> SiteSettings _siteSettings; public SiteSettings SiteLevelSettings { get { return _siteSettings = _siteSettings ?? CommonHelper.GetContextItem&lt;SiteSettings&gt;(Constant.ItemIDs.SiteSettings); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Item Id <code>Constant</code> class</strong></p> <pre><code> public static class ItemIDs { public static readonly string SiteSettings = "{SOME GUID}"; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Get Item helper logic</strong></p> <pre><code> using Sc = Sitecore; public static T GetContextItem&lt;T&gt;(string sitecoreItemId = "") where T : class { T cxtItem = default(T); try { Sc.Data.Items.Item item = default(Sc.Data.Items.Item); if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sitecoreItemId)) item = Sc.Context.Item; else item = Sc.Context.Database.GetItem(new Sc.Data.ID(Guid.Parse(sitecoreItemId))); if (item != null) { cxtItem = Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), new object[] { item }) as T; } } catch (Exception ex) { Sc.Diagnostics.Log.Error("Error in GetContextItem&lt;T&gt;() where T : class", ex); } return cxtItem; } </code></pre> <p><strong>This is the interface <code>ISiteSettings</code> for <code>SiteSettings</code> class</strong></p> <pre><code>public interface ISiteSettings : IStandardTemplate { ImageField HeaderLogo { get; } RichTextField CopyrightContent { get; } DroptreeField HeaderNavigation { get; } DroptreeField FooterNavigationBottom { get; } DroptreeField FooterNavigationLeft { get; } DroptreeField FooterNavigationMiddle { get; } DroptreeField FooterNavigationRight { get; } DroptreeField FooterNavigationLogos { get; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Here is the actual SiteSettings class</strong> <em>(code excerpts here)</em></p> <pre><code>public partial class SiteSettings : TemplateBase, ISiteSettings { [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()] [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Sitecore Code Generator", "1.0.0.0")] public Sitecore.Data.Items.Item InnerItem { get; set; } [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()] [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Sitecore Code Generator", "1.0.0.0")] public SiteSettings(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item item) // Constructor { this.InnerItem = item; } } </code></pre> <p>Question are: </p> <ol> <li>Is this the correct way to use Code Generated using Sitecore Rocks ?</li> <li>Any other better code generation strategy are there for Sitecore Cms solution ?</li> </ol>

    2. COHave you used glass mapper ? I would like if you can answer my question on the glass mapper issue [here](http://stackoverflow.com/q/18698668/468718)

    3. COAlso never used the Rocks one, but it's pretty clear that your generated class, SiteSettings, is lacking the template's fields as data members. I've used CustomItemGenerator and it seems to work almost the same way, but instead of generating an item, it generates template items. So if you have a GenericPage template, then you'll see a new class called GenericPageItem which is constructed the same way as Rocks' items, but it contains all the fields associated with the template.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
