tranformation pulls pagetype unique identifier column

kyle shapiro asked on January 15, 2016 23:08

Hello devnet. Each pagetype has a unique identifier that you get to name upon creating the pagetype. It is a primary key that auto increments from 1. I would like to reference this column from an ascx transformation. <%# eval("fieldName") %> works for all field names with the exception of the primary key field. What does my transformation need to return the value in a primary key field named "MyField"?

transformation unique id eval ascx primary key pk identifier 8.2

What webpart are you using to display the transformation? If you are using a custom query make sure the ID column is returned in the query. If you are using just a repeater I would make sure the ID column is listed int he columns field.

You can turn on SQL debugging to see what queries are running to verify that column is returned.

Thank you Zachary! I had forgotten that this was in fact a query repeater, and not a normal page repeater. Once I included the PK field in my query, it resolved correctly. Thanks again.
