Is there any equivalent of IUsercontrolDataEditor in Umbraco 6.1.1 that runs in MVC mode? If yes, can you provide some pointes. If no, what are the alternatives?
I basically need to create a custom DropdownList populated with values from database. I should be able to add this data type on a document type and retrieve values on content publish.
@Jeroen, thanks. I looked at uComponents - sounds great. One question though. Is it possible to modify the query (by adding WHRE clause) runtime, depending on some other property value? I need three dropdowns, and values of one depends on the selection of other.
@Tim thanks - but I am using uBlogsy 3.0 that only works with MVC - and the property is required on blog post. Is it possible to combine a property that needs a post_back (web forms) on a blogsy3 node?

Hey,
The backoffice still uses webforms in 6.x so you can still use the IUsercontrolDataEditor
If you want a custom dropdownlist with values from the database you should have a look at the SQL DropDownList.

Hello,
You probably can't modify the query at runtime.
uBlogsy is MVC, but the backoffice of uBlogsy in Umbraco is still webforms so you can still use the IUsercontrolDataEditor.

Thanks. For now I am using webform usercontrol. Would like to know if there's any MVC way that exists.
All I know is this blog about MVC in the backend: http://blog.bartdemeyer.be/2013/01/using-mvc-backend-pages-in-umbraco-4-11-1/
