Just getting started! Need help on populating a text box from sharepoint list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 116

Hi,

 

Go easy, just getting started and first post.....  I have a sharepoint list with items a number of fields, I have a main/front screen on my app which lists the names of these items and the ID of the item.  The button at the right of the item, I have used the navigate function to navigate to a 2nd screen and pass down the ID of the item.  The problem I have is on the 2nd screen how do I get it to display data/fields of the selected item/ID passed down?

So to put it simply, I want the user to see on the front page a list of items in the sharepoint list (this works)

The user then clicks the button next to the item they want to drill down into and the 2nd screen should show things like the description of the item selected (which is a field in the sharepoint list)-  Does that make sense?

    Hey! It dependes... If you wanto to show only a label, you have to "choose" the item. Assuming you select the gallery, you can use: Gallery1.Selected.Collumn

     

    Collection1.Title will return ALL itens. You need to choose

    Do I need a collection?  I created a collection - collection1 and its fontpage.selected, now if I go to the text box on my 2nd page I can type collection1.title but it then says its a table (which its not, its a text field)
