Virtual Happy Hour is canceled this month (March) due to Good Friday.
For dropdownlists I often use a editordescriptor and pupulate that with my stuff. Then use the editordescriptor as [UIHint]. Something like Linus did in this blogpost: http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Linus-Ekstrom/Dates/2012/9/EPiServer-7-Configuring-editors-for-your-properties/
Hi,
I must be insane because I couldn’t get EPiServer 7.5 MVC to render a simple DropDownList in edit mode. A case of trying too hard and frustration led to this post. Why do they make it so difficult to do the simplest of things :)
I have googled and searched the forum but EPiServer has a specializedProperty and they don’t let you map a simple DropDownList to it?
Drop-down list
String (<= 255)
EPiServer.SpecializedProperties.PropertyDropDownList
EPiServer
gives the error:
Why has this information not been added to this fine list here: http://world.episerver.com/Documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/75/Content/Properties/Property-types/ ?
Anyway, in case you are wondering. Since EPiServer.SpecializedProperties.PropertyDropDownList is a really a string, just do this:
[UIHint("DropDownList")]
public virtual string ActiveView { get; set; }
