Hi,

Ok what im trying to acomplish is the following:

In umbraco we have created a Datatype called category, this is of type checkbox list.

Now we have created a custom usercontrol for admins to administrate their categories because we need duplicates of the categories saved in a custom database for BI purposes.

What we are trying to accomplish is on the adding of a new category on the usercontrol will insert a new category in the custom DB, return a ID and then i want to add that category and its id to the existing datatype in umbraco so that umbraco admins can assign nodes to new category.

Is there any easy way of accomplishing this? i have been searching for a while now and cant seem to find a good easy workable solution.

any help will be greatly Appreciated.
