Just need some advice here. I have a list and i would like to create a custom search so that users can search easily .The list has some checkboxes,texts,date.I want the user also to search by date range e.g from date to End date. Not sure if i would be able to use SPD and Data view webpart to get this done ? Would XsltListViewWebPart do this?. Any advices or hints would be welcome.
Tell me more

When working with a single list in SP 2010, you should start by checking out the Metadata navigation settings from the List Settings apge. The Key Filters feature allows you to do more advanced filtering. All configuration, no coding needed. Check it out before doing something custom and complicated. |

The most easiest I would find, is to use the Filter web parts connected to the Data View Web Part (or XSLT View), which at its turn would be customized via SPD (SharePoint Designer). The advantage is that you could build more complex queries to filter upon (up to 10 filter criteria fields) and you could also (if filter web parts won't do it for you) use standard ASP.NET controls directly in the page bound to actual data (via SPDataSource controls directly in page, tied up to each of your fields you plan to filter after). Hope it helps, C:\Marius |
