Fields in FeatureDataForm

[SteveLi]

Is there a way to specify which fields to be included in FeatureDataForm?

Thanks

Yes, the FeatureDataForm's Fields is based on the OutFields of the FeatureLayer it is set to bind against. If you want to include/exclude fields, do not use "*" on your FeatureLayer.OutFields, instead specify the fields you want displayed on your FeatureDataForm.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think the approach will solve my issue.

I actually need to customized FeatureDataForm, so the fields will be placed on different pages of a tabbed container.

I saw a Flex sample (Sorry, i am more familiar with Flex API than SL):

<esri:AttributeInspector id="attrInsp"
                                         deleteFeature="attrInsp_deleteFeatureHandler(event)"
                                         updateFeature="attrInsp_updateFeatureHandler(event)">

                    <esri:FieldInspector featureLayer="{myFeatureLayer}"
                                         fieldName="activeprod"
                                         label="ACTIVE_PRODUCTION"/>

                    <esri:FieldInspector featureLayer="{myFeatureLayer}"
                                         fieldName="field_name"
                                         label="FIELDNAME"/>

can specify which fields in the form.  Is there a way in SL to do that?

Thanks.

Sure you can customize the existing FeatureDataForm, the source code can be downloaded from CodePlex. http://esrisilverlight.codeplex.com/
