Question

I am working on to create a custom control inherited by CheckboxList control. We can add items from ListItem collection editior at the design time. In this ListItem Collection editor there are 4 properties

1) Enabled
2) Selected
3) Text
4) value

I really need to add some new properties such as “ImageURL” and “IsClear”. Do you have any ideas/methods or magic to add these properties.

I need Expert’s opinion from StackOverFlow.com

Thanks

Answer 1

You can create a class that inherits from ListItem to add the properties. But inheriting from CheckBoxList would use the ListItem base type… You could try shadowing the Items collection to use your custom type, though I don’t know that will work the same way… it depends where you need to use these new properties of the list item.

HTH.
