GoToCopySourceLink

Description

The Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.GoToCopySourceLink class inherits from the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.FormComponent class which is the foundational control for form and field rendering controls. GoToCopySourceLink provides output of a HTML link with text "Go To Source Item" and a link pointing to a parameterized copyutil.aspx page.

The GoToCopySourceLink control leverages a majority of its functionality from the use of the copyutil.aspx page. Copyutil.aspx is an application page that allows easy navigation to a source SPListItem in either edit or display mode by consuming a variety of ID’s.

With GoToCopySourceLink the GoToDispForm is set to one so will be redirect to display mode and the ID to the item is provided by ListItem.CopySource.

Usage Scenario

The primary usage of GoToCopySourceLink is within the shipped software when you are managing copies. Within custom development, it is commonly found when developing applications that will heavily integrate item copying and will require integrated navigation to source items.

Below, I am demonstrating creating a new GoToCopySourceLink object and setting the GoToCopySourceLink.Visible property to true. Following, the GoToCopySourceLink control is added to the current instance control collection.

C# Code Example

protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
GoToCopySourceLink link = new GoToCopySourceLink();
link.Visible = true;
Controls.Add(link);
}

Visual Basic .NET Code Example

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()
Dim link As New GoToCopySourceLink()
link.Visible = True
Controls.Add(link)
End Sub
