Dropdown Property List??

[Tina]

I'm writing an aspx server control and I need to have a property that
displays a dropdown list of things I have in an arraylist. I'm trying to do
the kind of thing that, for instance, the datagrid component does where it
shows a list of all of the datasets on the page that could be chosen for
binding.

I have examples of doing property dropdowns this with a static enum and also
using a collection property but I don't want a collection property.

How is this done?
Thanks,
T

Hi,

maybe it is a TypeConverter you are looking for e.g when you use VS.NET's
designer and select something from property browser (if you mean HTML View
this isn't possible because it checks the intellisense from static XSD
schema per control basis)

Here is an example how to list datagrids of a page using a type converter
