It may not matter. I have found that I can specify the field I want when I upload it to SharePoint. That is what is most important. I will look into the repeating thing later.

this is bound to happen, why dont you create a repeating control and place your text box and the template part in it.

I believe I have to change something with the binding. I am searching for the answer, and will post the solution back to this thread if I get it!

In the Data Source the radio button controls from the template part are referenced as myFields_1, myFields_2, etc instead of the name that I gave them. This will be a nightmare later as the radio buttons and textbox fields will need to be referenced together.

i cant see anywhere the template part being used, can u attach a template in which you have used the template part and were not able to make it work.

Yes, here is a sample of what I am working on. It is just a part of the form, not the whole thing.

Britany,

I tried to replicate the scenario, it seems to be working fine on my machines, can you attach the template in which you have used this custom control, and the validation/rules seem to be not working.

For future reference, I've made .xtp extensions allowable attachment types -- thanks for pointing this out!

Qazi,

I tried that, but the .xtp file type is not allowed. Just put it in a zip file.

Thanks for help. You rock!

Brittany :-)

Qazi,

I can't figure out how to attach an xtp file to my post! Help!

the rules and validations dont get stripped, when you import the control. you might be doing something differently, can you attach the template part and the template on which the validations and rules seem to get stripped out

I guess all the validation and rules get stripped out when it is imported as custom control. Bummer! Oh well, it still will save me lots of time this summer.
