Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to transfer data between a list and a custom web part. I know I can transfer row data between different SharePoint lists to act as filters; I simply want to employ the same functionality so that a SPGridView in my web part queries a second list based on the selected row of the first list.
Now I understand I could create two SPGridViews, each handling a different list, and replicating the row selected event for one of the grids, but I really have my heart dead set on an OOTB SharePoint List and a custom web part.
thank you for your time.
EDIT:
After further research, I've come to the understanding that I need a connectionconsumer webpart method in order to retrieve data from a webpart.
[ConnectionConsumer("Filter Consumer", "FilterConsumer")] public void ConsumeFilter(IFilterValues filterValues) { _filterVals = filterValues; }
But in order to interact with the right webpart, I need to use the matching Interface (e.g. IFilterValues) for the method parameter. At least, that is what I believe.
So the question now becomes: what is the matching interface for connecting a SharePoint List web part via "Send Row of Data to"
