I have a question related to this (social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../?prof=required) that Becky kindly replied to.
I'll explain the situation a little first and hopefully one of you may have an idea:
The site is a public, internet facing WCM site. It is a real estate/property site.
The main issue I have is that the property "details"/"attributes" are very complex. Each property has some fifty odd attributes (such as; image, discription, address the usual stuff).
However, the designers have designed the property page to have a left hand navigation where the user will click "Images" to see a page with the images of the property, click "Floor Plans" to see a page with the floor plans etc.
My plan to handle this is to have each of those side links hide/display asnp.net panels with the relevant sharepoint field controls in. This all works fine.
My main problem is the editing: The pages (with the panel etc), are too complicated for me to leave the editors to edit direct in the page so I would like to have the editors edit a List, in datagrid view ideally, and edit all the content for all of the attributes that way. I have this part working too.
My question is this I guess (sorry for waffling): Can I simply inject the contents of the list into the page at runtime? I still want each property to have its own physical page (ie place in the URL schema), but I simply want the users to edit the whole content in a standard List (which they can even hook up to Excel to make it easier), but at runtime just render the page.
I hope that makes sense and I hope it doesn't sound too silly what I am trying to achieve.
