To create a custom control and type while creating a column

I finally got our project lead to abandon external SQL lists, so now I've created custom lists in SP 2010. I have some columns that are of "Choice" type/"Display as radio buttons" (customer requirement). When I start Infopath 2010 locally and create the data connections to the list(s), those choice fields display in I/P as dropdowns. If I change the control with a right-click to "Option Button", I only get one -- I need 2 (yes, no) or, in a few upcoming cases 3 or 4. BTW, same with changing the control to a check box -- only get 1. FWIW, I get the same results if I start Infopath directly from the list in SP Designer 2010. Any ideas?

Hello!

I have a document library with the standard name column linking to the document. However, we'd like to create a custom field and have that link to the document (and edit item menu).

How is this best accomplished?

Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I am trying to create a custom drop down field type and I was able to acheive that using the MS link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb861799.aspx. As per the link, once the custom field is created we can override the "Validate" method to write the Validation logic and that works fine for me too. However I am facing a challenge even before going to Validate . Let me explain my actual requirements here. I need to build a custom drop down field and expose the field to the user in "Edit Properties " Page of a document library. Along with this field, I will be having some OOB site columns in the Edit Properties Page (Ex: Title, Subject etc)  . When user selects a value in the drop down, I need to hide/show few OOB site columns based on certain criteria.  I am facing a challenge of how to capture the "SelectedIndexChanged " event for the Custom drop down field in Sharepoint (Can we wire the SelectedIndexChanged event to a custom dropdown field type) ? Is this acheivable in SP 2010 Custom field type ? If so, how can I do it ? Can any of you kindly help me here?   Regards, Yesh

I am currently trying to develop a custom asp.net control that can be deployed to SharePoint 2010 and then included on something like a New item form. I have been able to build the control as part of a webpart but it needs to be done as a stand alone control that can be used on various webparts including the out of the box webparts like the WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart. Are there any good examples of building a custom control, deploying it to SharePoint and then using SharePoint designer to add that control to an existing web part?

is it possible to create a list definition without creating a custom content type?  I want to create a list definition and select "Custom List" and then I just want to add fields to the custom list and not create a content type that will show up in the SharePoint GUI.  Seems like to get the new fields to show up in the new and edit forms I have to add the fields to a custom content type.

I have two list in the Sahrepoint Foundation 2010 site. 1) Projects with Title and members(Person or Group - multiple selection) 2) Tasks (Team site default)  - added lookup column Projects form the first list (required) Now I want to assign task given users in the projects list. ex. I have users A,B,C,D,E and Two Project P1 and P2 I have defined that P1 project has users A,B,C so task is distributed/assigned between this members, not to D and E I need some validation or lookup which restrict selection or D and E.   Thank you.
