If the processor has a method, the method must accept a PipelineArgs object and return type will be void. Below code snippet will help us to write simple custom processor in Sitecore.
public void Process(AverageRatingProcessorArguments args)
{
double average = 0;
String ConStringName = Sitecore.Configuration.Settings.GetSetting("ratingconstring");
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConStringName))
{
connection.Open();
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Getaverage", connection))
{
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BlogItemID", args.itemID);
average = (double)command.ExecuteScalar();
}
}
args.CustomData.Add("averagerating", Convert.ToString(average));
}
public class AverageRatingProcessorArguments:PipelineArgs
{
public string itemID { get; set; }
}
//Invoking the custom processor
public string AverageRatingWithProcessor(string itemID)
{
RatingModule.Processors.AverageRatingProcessorArguments ARarg = new RatingModule.Processors.AverageRatingProcessorArguments();
ARarg.itemID = itemID;
CorePipeline.Run(AVERAGE_RATING_PROCESSOR, ARarg);
var AvgRating = ARarg.CustomData["averagerating"];
return AvgRating.ToString();
}
