    using checkboxlist with members

    I am trying to create a property for selecting members using Checkboxlist control in a usercontrol wrapper. the problem is I don't know how to save the user selection and read it later from the DB.

    This is a sample I made using a simple text box, now I need to figure out how to achieve this in a checkboxlist.

     public object value
        {
            get
            {
                return MemberTextBox.Text;
            }
            set
            {
                if (value != null)
                {
                    MemberTextBox.Text = value.ToString();
                }
            }
        }

    Hi Moran,

    I wonder if the built-in datatype XPath CheckBoxList would be suitable for your purpose ? it can be configured with an XPath expression to select those members that should become selectable options.

    HTH,

    Hi I think this can do the trick, but for some reason I can't see the type section in my settings, I am using umbraco version 4.11.8 enter image description here

    Arhh, that's a shame, unfortunately I can't remember which version of Umbraco this datatype was updated.

    Another option may be to use the uComponents SQL CheckBoxList with something like:

    SELECT [text] AS 'Text',
           id AS 'Value' 
    FROM   cmsMember
    LEFT OUTER JOIN umbracoNode ON id = nodeId
