RE:Drop Down

Hello,

If you want to add this drop-down list on the Form tab of documents, you will need to develop a custom form control that would contain a drop-down list as it is described in this section of Developer's guide and use it as a Field type of the document's field: Developing form controls (Kentico CMS 3.0).

As Kentico CMS is a standard .NET application, you can use .NET API for web services to get the data from your web service and bind the drop-down list.

RE:Drop Down

Hello,

Sorry, I am a little confused from your description so could you please describe this request in more detail?

As I wrote in the previous post, if you want to display the drop-down list on the Form tab in the CMS Desk and bind this drop-down list with the data returned from the web service, you will need to create a new form control with the drop-down list as it is demonstrated in the documentation. Then, you can use standard .NET API to execute your web service and bind the drop-down list with the retrieved data in the code of the form control.

If this is not what you want, could you please let me know where would you like to display this drop-down list?

Do you want to bind it with the data returned from a web service?

Thank you.

Best regards,
