| May 25, 2012 at 2:36 | comment | added | webdes03 | "a ribbon with buttons"... are you referring to the SharePoint ribbon, or some custom solution? I don't know of a way you can accomplish this with purely the XML, there's no way for the elements file to load/reference any dynamic values. Seems like you need code behind or a custom user control to handle this. | |
| May 25, 2012 at 2:31 | comment | added | Meyer Denney | I had part of a url stored in the property bag. I also have a ribbon with buttons. When a user clicks one of the buttons, it is supposed to go to a certain url stored in the property bag. I have the buttons declared through xml rather than code behind. I would like to set the buttons commanduihandler to the url stored in the property bag. | |
| May 25, 2012 at 2:28 | comment | added | webdes03 | There's no such thing as a variable or a placeholder for the XML. Short of having something else generate the entire elements.xml file, I don't believe what you're doing is possible. Even considering that the elements.xml file is a static file stored within the solution and 14 hive, I'm not sure how you'd accomplish this. What are you trying to do? | |
| May 25, 2012 at 2:26 | comment | added | Meyer Denney | What if it was a public static string that was setup on PreLoad or something like that? Before the control got rendered the string would already be populated with the correct property value. | |
| May 25, 2012 at 2:23 | comment | added | webdes03 | XML is markup... it can't pull dynamic values. | |
| May 25, 2012 at 2:05 | comment | added | Meyer Denney | I can pull the property via code, and store it in a public string. Is there anyway to access that string from the xml file? | |
