Chris, You can do this in two ways. Webparts have all this already built in, you just have to "hook it up", so to speak.
The simplest way is to expose a public property & decorate it with two attributes "Personalizable(true)" & "Browsable(true)" (you can replace the "true" in the Personalizable attribute with "PersonalizationScope.Personal" or "PersonalizationScope.Shared"). Or, you can create a custom EditorPart, which requires a bit more work, but gives you greater control. If you google for "EditorPart" you'll find a wealth of information & examples to get you going. If you have trouble finding what you need, I'll see if I can find something for you. Hope that helps, Yann -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Grist Sent: Monday, 9 June 2008 9:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] custom web parts with sql Hi Guys, In the next couple of weeks i am going to be doing some BDC stuff revolving around a simple CRM system. The basic layout they want is a site for each different company in the CRM. What i would like to do is display that company information in my own layout in a custom webpart. Which should be pretty simple, so thats fine. What i would like to add though is the option for the user to select what company the web part focuses on. I.e. in the modify web part options: Select Company: drop down of company names from something like select company.name from company; then when they select a specific company.name from the drop down it will set a variable equal to company.id so this can be used for other querys to get the specific address etc of that company. I was wondering if there was any examples of this anywhere because ive come up blank so far. But i would imagine this happens in quite a few webparts and would be something useful to know how to do.
