Need a custom field linked to a database field |
|
|
Hi people!
I need to create a new custom field combo box-like inside a List Definition.
The content of the combo must get the data from a field in the database.
¿Can anybody help me? ¿Does anyone know of articles, steps, samples? I would
apreciate any information
Thank you all in advance.

Why not use a FrontPage Data View webpart with its style chosen as Drop-Down |
Listbox?

the portal and I dont want to have a lot of unghosted pages.

What are unghosted pages and what is the problem with them?
¿any other hint?
Unfortunately, no. If you get no other response, post again, and I'll not |
jump in.

I approached this problem by writing a console application that I run every
night to
populate various combo boxes (defined as Choice fields) with the appropriate
dropdown
choices. The choice field uses an underlying XML type structure in the
database.
I went a step further and have the console application looking at EVERY doc
lib and
custom list in the portal and WSS sites and when it finds a column
named _____ it populates the choices for that column.
I do about 10 columns.
Example: Any document library or list with a column named "Department" that
is a type choice field
will have it's choices populated every night with the current list of
departments from our data warehouse.
I can give you the code if you want?
