Field Management

In addition to being a container server control to hold other controls, the main reason why Field Panel is created is to help client manage the field controls, especially the layout as well as the look and feel of field controls, on a page. To achieve this goal, Field Panel exposes the following properties:

Property Name	Property Type	Default Value	Description
FieldManager	FieldManagerSettings	FieldManager.DataCssClassOnError = "" FieldManager.EnableGraphicalResult = true FieldManager.ErrorCssClass = "" FieldManager.ErrorInNewLine = false FieldManager.InvalidImageUrl = "" FieldManager.LabelCssClass = "" FieldManager.LabelCssClassOnError = "" FieldManager.ValidImageUrl = ""	Gets the settings that manages the instances of FieldControl contained in this instance of FieldPanel.
NullableFieldManager	NullableFieldManagerSettings	NullableFieldManager.DataInNewLine = false NullableFieldManager.FixedLabelWidth = true NullableFieldManager.LabelAlignRight = true NullableFieldManager.LabelWidth = 200 NullableFieldManager.NotNullSymbolColor = "red"	Gets the settings that manages the instances of NullableField contained in this instance of FieldPanel.
RenderHtmlTag	System.Boolean	true	Gets or sets a value indicating whether this instance of FieldPanel should render HTML tag or not. When this property is set to false, FieldPanel will function as a pure field managing control.

Here the FieldControl and NullableField are the base classes that logically group all field controls in the XNode.Web.XField assembly. The following table shows the logical grouping of all field controls:

Control Name	Control Type	Is Nullable Field?	Is Field Control?
Boolean Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.BooleanField	No	Yes
Credit Card Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.CreditCardField	Yes
CVV Code Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.CVVCodeField
Date Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.DateField
Description Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.DescriptionField
Dynamic List Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.DynamicListField
Email Address Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.EmailAddressField
Gross Date Field	XNode.Web.XField.Controls.GrossDateField
