    Hi,

    In CRM 4.0 can we have a possibility of using Databound Picklist?

    As far as I have seen, there is no way to bound Picklist. If there is any js code workaround or unsupported customization to achieve the same?

    Regards,

    Hi Ali

    You need to get the picklist items using the MetadataService, see example inside the crm sdk about retrieving metadata, some sample code that might help you

    // get the picklist you want by calling the metadataservice
    PicklistAttributeMetadata picklist = ...
    var options = picklist.Options; // this holds the items of the picklist
    // loop through the options variable
    options[i].Label.UserLocLabel.Label // this is the display name
    options[i].Value.Value // this is the integer value

    Kids don't try this at home!

    Thanks Amol.

    But what about if we want to bind picklist from crm entity for using DataMember and ValueMember type scenario?

    Thanks Gayan!

    It seems fit in my scenario.
