1. how to put fields into different tabs in a feature data form?
2. is it possible to change the text fields to a dropdown that loads from a support table in sql server 2008 r2 (attributes only) in a feature data form.
DETAILS: thank you taking the time to read this post. We have a feature layer that has 78 or more columns. User have requested the fields to be put into 5 to 6 tabs based on the information each column holds. currently the app is of the following configuration:
1. esri api 3.0 (silverlight 5.x) 2. development lang c# - visual studio 2010 with latest sp. 3. REST etc from 10.1 (sql server 2008 r2 with spatial etc that works with esri).
the application was started with minimal template - then 'modified' to the glass template.
featurelayers records load in the grid and the application saves the data to the server using explicit save - since editing in the grid is cumbersome users want columns grouped into different tabs.
Users want a 'support table' for many of the columns (displayed as dropdown) to improve data accuracies.
