PeopleEditor.AccountType

Description

The PeopleEditor.AccountType enumeration contains four values, DL, SecGroup, SPGroup, and User. You use the PeopleEditor.AccountType enumeration to restrict the acceptable values in a PeopleEditor control to Active Directory distribution lists, Active Directory security groups, SharePoint groups, or users.

To restrict the acceptable values in a PeopleEditor you must set the SelectionSet property of the PeopleEditor instance to the required value from the PeopleEditor.AccountType enumeration. The SelectionSet property of the PeopleEditor class is a String type. You must call the ToString method of the PeopleEditor.AccountType enumeration value to cast the enumeration value to a String type. If you want to specify multiple values from the PeopleEditor.AccountType enumeration you must separate each value with a comma.

Usage Scenarios

You would typically use the PeopleEditor.AccountType enumeration when you add a PeopleEditor control to a Web Part or Web form. For example, if the purpose of your Web Part is to send an e-mail to an Active Directory distribution list, you would specify the PeopleEditor.AccountType.DL enumeration value.

The following code samples show how to restrict the accepted values for a PeopleEditor object on a Web Part to Active Directory security groups.

C# Code Sample

protected override void CreateChildControls()
{         
    PeopleEditor pe = new PeopleEditor();
    pe.SelectionSet = PeopleEditor.AccountType.SecGroup.ToString();
    this.Controls.Add(pe);
}
  
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{           
   RenderChildren(writer);
}

Visual Basic .NET Code Sample

Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()
    Dim pe As PeopleEditor = New PeopleEditor()
    pe.SelectionSet = PeopleEditor.AccountType.SecGroup.ToString()
    Me.Controls.Add(pe)
End Sub


Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As HtmlTextWriter)
    RenderChildren(writer)


End Sub

              No description about DL, ...,... 
                
        
 
        

            
 no description about members eg DL, etc 


  


 Presumably DL = AD distribution list


 SecGroup = AD security group


 SPGroup = Sharepoint group


 and user = single user
