Hello,
I have written my own custom control and I want one of its properties to
display as a dropdown list when clicked, so the user can select from the
list, it would be similar to the asp textbox control which has a ‘TextMode’
property and when clicked on, displays as a dropdown list with 3 values, I
want to have a similar type property with a dropdown style.
So far, I have a property defined which displays the dropdown arrow when
clicked but does not expand, I also do not know how to populate the dropdown.
The dropdown needs to be populated with values read from the DB, the values
can be read into a Dataset/datareader (which I can do), so I need to know how
to bind these to a dropdown and have the dropdown assigned to the property.
So far I have the following:
1. My control
Imports System
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.W ebControls
Imports System.Componen tModel
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Drawing
Imports UniversalDropdo wnEditor
Namespace CustomAddressCo ntrol
<DefaultPropert y("Title"), ToolboxData("<{ 0}:Address
runat=server></{0}:Address>")_
Public Class Address
Inherits System.Web.UI.W ebControls.WebC ontrol
Private iDataSource As String
<Description("T he source/origin of the data."), _
Editor(GetType( EntryModeEditor ), _
GetType(System. Drawing.Design. UITypeEditor))_
Public Property DataSource() As String
Get
Return iDataSource
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
iDataSource = Value
End Set
End Property
…………..
2. My EntryModeEditor Class
Imports System
Imports System.Componen tModel
Imports System.Componen tModel.Design
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing. Design
Imports System.Windows. Forms
Imports System.Windows. Forms.Design
<System.Securit y.Permissions.P ermissionSetAtt ribute(System.S ecurity.Permiss ions.SecurityAc tion.Demand, Name:="FullTrus t")_
Public Class EntryModeEditor
Inherits System.Drawing. Design.UITypeEd itor
Public Overloads Overrides Function EditValue(ByVal context As
System.Componen tModel.ITypeDes criptorContext, ByVal provider As
IServiceProvide r, ByVal value As Object) As Object
Dim returnValue As Object = value
If Not (provider Is Nothing) Then
‘I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SHOULD GO IN HERE, TO POPULATE THE DROPDOWN AND GET OUT
THE VALUE THAT WAS SELECTED
End If
Return value
End Function
Public Overloads Overrides Function GetEditStyle(By Val context As _
System.Componen tModel.ITypeDes criptorContext) As _
System.Drawing. Design.UITypeEd itorEditStyle
If context Is Nothing Then
Return MyBase.GetEditS tyle(context)
Else
Return System.Drawing. Design.UITypeEd itorEditStyle.D ropDown
End If
End Function
End Class
Any help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,

I built a custom control. It has one custom property that I created
exposed. What I want to do though is to have the property show as a
dropdown with only a limited number of choices for settings. An example
would be the dropdown style of a combo box. The designer can only select
one of three previously defined options and can not type anything arbitrary
in.
Can anyone explain how to do that?

Hello,
I have a products page that takes a product ID in the query string.
Based on the product details (from a database), the page then loads up
one of a number of custom controls, calls a method in the control (that
displays product info) and then loads the control into a placeholder so
it will be displayed.
I want to be able to restore the state of the controls in the custom
control, but can't get it to work. For example, the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
