I'll give 500 SEK (+ swedish VAT) to the first person who sends me code for a property plugin as described in this thread: http://www.episerver.com/templates/ForumItem____2459.aspx That is, a Yes/No/Inherit control based on Integer. I need it urgently for a project and I don't have the time to solve it. Contact me for details if you're interested. / Ted phone: 0704-67 84 58 (sweden) mailto:episerver4devforum@callander.se

Good morning. Here you have the code for a dropdown. Add the values to the dropdown from the web.config or a xml-file.


using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using EPiServer.Core;
using System.Drawing;
using System.ComponentModel;
using EPiServer.PlugIn;

namespace omnion
{
  [PageDefinitionTypePlugIn]
  public class MyDropdownProperty : PropertyNumber
  {
    public override void CreateChildControls(string renderType, System.Web.UI.Control container)
    {
      switch(renderType)
      {
        case "edit":
          DropDownList list  = new DropDownList();
          list.ID        = this.Name;
          CopyWebAttributes(container, list);

          list.Items.Add( new ListItem("On", "0") );
          list.Items.Add( new ListItem("Off", "1") );

          container.Controls.Add(list);
          container.Controls.Add(CreateParseValidator(list));
          break;
        default:
          base.CreateChildControls(renderType, container);
          break;
      }
    }
  }
}

Buy your collegues an icecream with the money and continue work with EPiServer :D /Øyvind ElektroPost Norway

One small addition just after the calls to list.Items.Add():


list.SelectedValue=this.Value.ToString();

You should do a list.Items.FindByValue(...) to make sure you don't try "select" a value that is not in the list. (In case you change the items in the list after first install.)
