ListControlDesigner::UseDataSourcePickerActionList Property

Gets a value that indicates whether the associated control should render its default action lists.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

protected:
virtual property bool UseDataSourcePickerActionList {
	bool get () override;
}

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean
Always returns false.

The UseDataSourcePickerActionList property returns false so that a data source dropdown is not displayed with the Choose Data Source menu item in the Common Tasks context menu. Instead, this menu item displays the Choose Data Source dialog box, which allows the user to select a DataSource and the DataTextField and DataValueField properties.

Notes to Inheritors:

Override the UseDataSourcePickerActionList property to return true if you want the control that is derived from the ListControl class to display a data source dropdown with the Choose Data Source menu item in the Common Tasks context menu at design time.
