Create drop down dynamically in child page

Hi All

I have create a property in parent page and a user can add comma separated value in text box. I want to use these comma separated values in a drop down which is in child pages.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

Thanks

Hi Manish

I would use some code like this:

@{
    List<SelectListItem> dropdownValues = Model.Content.Parent.GetPropertyValue<string>("commaSeparatedValues").Split(',').Select(x => new SelectListItem() { Text = x, Value = x }).ToList();
}

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.PropertyName, dropdownValues, "Please Select...")

Have a look at the package called NuPickers. I bet there is an option there to base the source of a control on a value from a content item.

I've only used the SQL table as a source, so far. But there are other sources you can use. Have a look here to see if you can do what you need to.
