RE: MultiColumn Custom Field Problem

If you add the related field via public override void OnAdded(SPAddFieldOptions op) then it will always exist in the list. i.e. SPFieldText relatedField; // Set the related field. if (this.RelatedField == null || this.RelatedField.Length == 0) {

RE: MultiColumn Custom Field Problem

Couple of downsides of related field property to keep in mind: 1. In my experience the RelatedField property breaks site templates, as its not part of the schema. 2. The only way to display the value of the related field in list view is to use CAML DisplayPatterns that are now depre

RE: attachments issue in DVWP, published page vs draft

I wish I could help with this - because that would mean I'd actually got it working this side. It works fine until I save the page template, and then I get 'unspecified errors'. What I'm trying to do sounds similar to your solution - I'll be interested to see if I end up with the same problem o

RE: MultiColumn Custom Field Problem

When making custom fields, the underlying data type is very important. The Multi-Column Value Type is very useful for storing arrays of values, but the downside is that it can't be sorted, filtered, grouped, indexed or edited using the normal SharePoint UI. You might want to consider changing

Re: Linking lists

Hi Marko, Turning this on it's head it is possible to created a Linked Table in Access which will make the SharePoint List available in your database. You can then craft some SQL queries in Access to do the 'import' and association of the reference data. (i.e. insert into LinkedSPList select blah

Hi Daniel Thanks for the link. I know this work for new lists, but when I am importing a linked table from access after I add the lookup column its obviously empty. I was more after how can I programatically perhaps enforce something like table 1 join table 2 where t1key = t2key set t1value = t2

Workflows, Stats and ... Videos!

Hiya, I have a client who is looking at using WebEx to host videos and track number of hits (like youtube) and who viewed them. I'm looking at using SharePoint to host videos instead. I've been looking into how we can meet requirements, such as show how many times a video has been viewed a
