Overview

qSISelector displays data from a SharePoint list in a drop-down control. This web part remembers the last item selected, even after you leave the page.

Using qSISelector, you can:

•

manage multiple projects in one workspace. You can place a selector that displays the project information on every page in your application and use that selector to filter the data in the qListView or any other view on the page. Because the selector remembers the last item selected even as you move from page to page, you only see the data for the same project until you switch to another project.

•	place a selector above a qListForm to select a certain item and then feed that item to the list form because the qSISelector is a row provider.

•	display, create, and edit data in your external systems. Out of the box, this Web Part supports the DAO Provider for:

•	Web Services

•	SQL Server

•

Oracle

•	Domino Server using XML over HTTP

•	Salesforce

•	K2Server (for SharePoint 2010 only)

 

TIP: To better understand SI web parts, read the System Integration Developer Guide.

qSISelector supports multiple languages. You can define a different Title for different languages using the Resource List and the Title Resource ID properties. The culture for the page can be defined by appending the Culture HTTP parameter to the page URL. For example:

http://hostname/sites/sitename/default.aspx?Culture=en-US

qSISelector implements the following web part connection interfaces:

•	IWebPartRow interface, which provides a row to another web part, such as qSIListView.

 

NOTE: The IWebPartRow implementation is labeled with Send Row To in the web part Connection menu. This interface cannot be connected with the obsolete IRowConsumer or IFilterConsumer implementation. Do not connect this new interface with the old interface that is marked obsolete.

•	IWebPartRow interface, which enables the selector to consume a row from another web part that implements IWebPartRow interface. The value from the consumed row can be used in the operator for a certain operation in the Actions property.

 

NOTE: The IWebPartRow consumer implementation is labeled with Get Row From in the web part Connection menu. This interface cannot be connected with the obsolete IFilterProvider or IRowProvider implementation. Do not connect this new interface with the old interface that is marked obsolete.
