Passing Parameters to DynamicControl

Question

User1561875705 posted

If there a way to pass paramters to the DynamicControl that can be read by the FieldTemplates?  

Maybe by deriving a class from DynamicControl and adding other properties.  An example would be:

<my:DynamicControl runat="server" Required="False" DataField="..." />

That way you would have the option to ajust settings at the UI layer OR within the entity model.

But then, how would the FieldTemplateUserControl be able to read the 'Required' property of the Dynamic Control?

 

Thanks!!

 There is a way. If you declare a public property on your field template class (for example named Required in your case) then DynamicControl will automatically set that property to the value in your markup.
