server controls complex properties with sub collections.
- by Richard Friend
Okay i have a custom server control that has some autocomplete settings, i have this as follows and it works fine.
/// <summary>
/// Auto complete settings
/// </summary>
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility (System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content),
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),
Category("Data"), Description("Auto complete settings"), NotifyParentProperty(true)]
public AutoCompleteLookupSettings AutoComplete { private set; get; }
I also have a ParameterCollection that is really related to the auto complete settings, currently this collection resides off the control itself like so :
/// <summary>
/// Parameters for any data lookups
/// </summary>
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility(System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content), PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
public ParameterCollection Parameters { get; set; }
What i would like to do is move the parameter collection inside of the AutoCompleteSettings as it really relates to my autocomplete, i have tried this but to no avail..
I would like to move from
<cc1:TextField ID="TextField1" runat='server'>
<AutoComplete MethodName="GetTest" TextField="Item1" TypeName ="AppFrameWork.Utils" />
<Parameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtTest" PropertyName="Text" Name="test" />
</Parameters>
</cc1:TextField>
To
<cc1:TextField ID="TextField1" runat='server'>
<AutoComplete MethodName="GetTest" TextField="Item1" TypeName ="AppFrameWork.Utils" >
<Parameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtTest" PropertyName="Text" Name="test" />
</Parameters>
</AutoComplete>
</cc1:TextField>
