Possible bug in TWA Custom Controls

Question

I'm currently developing a custom web control for twa 2010 and encountered the following:

use a custom control with a field that provides values via ALLOWEDVALUES in the template.

edit the field in twa, setting it to an invalid value, then hit 'save'.

you will be notified, that the field has an invalid value.

edit the field, setting it to a valid value again, then hit 'save'.

you will still get the notification that the field has an invalid value.

this can be reproduced using the custom control sample provided at http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2010/08/10/Create-custom-work-item-control-for-TFS-Web-Access-2010-(TWA).aspx

It seems that the workitem edit page is not performing a post back after the first 'save', thus the value on the datasource is never changed back to a valid value.

Is there something missing in the sample the FieldControl type is doing but the BaseWorkitemWebControl is not?

Hi rguder,

What build of Team System Web Access are you using? (Open TSWA and choose Help> About.)

If you have TFS 2010, make sure you have installed SP1 for TFS 2010, and test the control again.

Thanks!
