Basic
<formField:dropDownList ID="ffddlBlank"
runat="server" Title="Blank" />
Binding to Linq-to-SQL is a breeze using the defaults you set in your web.config
Linq-to-SQL (using defaults)
<formField:dropDownList ID="ffddlCategory"
runat="server" Title="Category"
L2STableName="category" />
You can specify a few more properties to get more control of the L2S binding
Linq-to-SQL (required)
<formField:dropDownList ID="ffddlUser"
runat="server" Title="User" Required="true"
L2STableName="_user" DataTextField="last_name"
DataValueField="_user_id" />
It can still be used with normal DataSources as well
SqlDataSource (required)
<formField:dropDownList ID="ffddlSDS"
runat="server" Title="Category"
DataSourceID="sds" Required="true"
SelectedValue="pirate" />
