Problem with Custom property CMS 5
You need to add inputControl to the control collection.
Controls.Add(inputControl);Frederik

Thanks for your answer, but it doesnt make any difference. It still doesnt show upp in the Type dropdown.
Is there any other settings to make it appear? does it have to be in a specific namespace? or do I have to add it through the "Edit Custom Property Types" in admin?
Thanks in advance

No, you don't have to add it to a specific namespace. If you check under Custom Property Types in admin mode does it appear there? If not, try inheriting from PropertyStringControl instead of PropertySelectControlBase.

I still cant see my custom property under Custom Proeprty Types in Admin mode, my code looks lite this now:
[Serializable]
[PageDefinitionTypePlugIn]
public class MyDropDownCore : EPiServer.Core.PropertyString
{
public override IPropertyControl CreatePropertyControl()
{
return new MyDropDownCoreControl();
}
}
public class MyDropDownCoreControl : EPiServer.Web.PropertyControls.PropertyStringControl
{
protected DropDownList inputControl;
public override void CreateEditControls()
{
base.SetupEditControls();
inputControl.Items.Add("Red");
inputControl.Items.Add("Blue");
inputControl.Items.Add("Green");
inputControl.SelectedValue = this.PropertyData.Value as string;
Controls.Add(inputControl);
}
public MyDropDownCore MyDropDownCore
{
get
{
return PropertyData as MyDropDownCore;
}
}
}

Hello
I have created a very simple custom property
[Serializable] [PageDefinitionTypePlugIn(DisplayName = "My demo dropdown")] public class MyDropDownCore : EPiServer.Core.PropertyString { public override IPropertyControl CreatePropertyControl() { return new MyDropDownPropType(); } } public class MyDropDownPropType : EPiServer.Web.PropertyControls.PropertySelectControlBase { protected override void SetupEditControls() { base.SetupEditControls(); DropDownList inputControl = this.EditControl; inputControl.Items.Add("Red"); inputControl.Items.Add("Blue"); inputControl.Items.Add("Green"); inputControl.SelectedValue = this.PropertyData.Value as string; } }
