some questions on your solution

Subject:

John,
thanks (again) for your input. I tried it and - of course - it worked. But two questions remain:

1. I'm not too happy with the appearance:

my computed field now displays the multiple values each on its own line. But the list itself is enclosed in square brackets:

[value1
value2]

I take it that those brackets are an indication that an array is being displayed

2. Before I had read your response I had played around with several other solutions, but none really worked. One attempt was to read the source field's value using

.getItemValueArray()

I would have expected that I could save the extra @Explode, as in

@Implode(dataSource.getItemValueArray("fieldName"), "<br/>");

But No: the result still appears to come out as a string, displaying the values as

[value1,value2]

(Square brackets again!)

Since I didn't think about rendering the ComputedField as HTML I tried to @Implode the value using @NewLine(), but again no success. Result here is:

[value1 value2]

(no comma between the values, but still the square brackets...)

Next thing I played around with were the converters that also got mentioned by Paul, But I don't really get it how I'm suposed to work with those.

And yes, I also tried to use a list box control reading in the source field's content as-is. And hey, that worked (but I know, that's not really good coding...)! So again: if the source already does contain an array, why would I have to @Explode it then?

Sorry, I don't seem to get it... :-(((
