2008-01-15 Thread missgiggygirl
Thank you Simon for the overview. :) The XML is done by someone else, and is already done, so that is not an issue. I know I have to use the XML object to use the incoming XML, but I really haven't seen much (if any) code that shows how to do this with external XML. I have seen a lot of code

2007-03-17 Thread missgiggygirl
You need to implement IDropInListItemRenderer (and the listData property). The listData will give you the column that owns you. Wow, that IDropInListItemRenderer opens up a real can of worms. I can't believe that something simple like what I want to do can get so difficult all of a sudden.
