Just looked at the code, and found that it's storing the value as Nvarchar, as opposed to Ntext ... which means that the value does have an upper-limit!
I have fixed this for the next version of uComponents... which is due out soon (in the next couple of weeks).
In the meantime you have the following options:
* Grab a copy of the v1.0 branch from CodePlex ... (download from here) ... fix the bug (it's line 33 of Shared.PrevalueEditors.NoOptionsPrevalueEditor). Compile it, then drop the uComponents.Core.dll into your /bin folder ... and it should just work?! (fingers-crossed)
* Go into the database, run this query:
SELECT * FROM cmsDataType WHERE controlId = 'c9525f23-7b7a-4dab-baeb-08f957bddd50'
... then change the "dbType" from "Nvarchar" to "Ntext". But remember if you re-save the data-type (prevalue editor), that change will be reverted back to "Nvarchar".
The only caveat with all this is that when you change the property data type from "Nvarchar" to "Ntext" - the existing data will remain in the Nvarchar column ... effectively hiding it from your document-types/content ... so you'll need to re-populate that content. (Unless you manually go through the database copy-n-pasting between the columns ... or writing a SQL UPDATE query?)
No fixed release date... we're still in active development of a few new data-types (and other very exciting features!). Currently aiming for a beta release in the next 2 weeks.
Related links with media, more then five items.
Hi,
When i use the Related Links with Media Datatype, i can save up to five links. No more.
Trying to save a sixth, ASP.Net throws a error: String or binary data would be truncated. (Is the datafield to short?)
I use the 1.0.0.1 version of the .dll.
Thanks,
BTW. If there's a quickfix to resolve this problem, do tell.

Good luck! (Apologies for the bug!)
Cheers, Lee.
Excellent.
It was as i expected. I appriciate the quickfix step-by-step, however im in the middle of a release and can't really afford the time-loss.
Is there a set release date?
