Developing a custom field control

Article
10/22/2007

Let's start with a discussion about why you would need a custom filed control?
Well let's have a look at this page. On this page you can find several offers (in the red box). These offers are simply a list with the destination, price and a url.

The easiest solution for editing these offers would be adding a RichText field control (or two in our scenario) onto your page.

With that however the editing experience for an author is not very exciting. She would have to edit the HTML code for this RichText field control:

So we came up with the idea to implement a custom field control which takes only the necessary data from the author and which renders itself onto the page. The necessary data for our offers scenario are: Title, for each offer: destination, price, url, the text for the link "More offers" and the underlying url and a field with some additional information. The initial prototype for this custom field control looked like this:

Using these fields an author can provide the necessary information for our offers page. Once the page is published the field control renders its content like this:

The downside of this approach was that we've limited our self to create two offers only. We wanted to have a dynamic list of offers where an author can decide how many offers she wants to create on a specific page. So we've prototyped such a control using a standard ASP.NET 2.0 page with a GridView which is bound to an ObjectDataSource.

The last step was to integrate this control into the custom field control which can be used by SharePoint on a Page Layout. The following screen-shot show two instances of this new field control.

Each row with the offer details has a button for editing or deleting this offer. Switching an offer into edit mode allows the author to modify this specific offer:

So now after we finished the author's view of this custom field control let's have a look at the development side. We basically need 3 files:

-an .ascx file with the UI of the custom field control
-an .xml file with the description of the control
-the actual file where we implement the control

I'm listing these 3 files below.

.ascx file for the UI. This file has to be copied into the folder: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES"
