How to get Custom Fields value dynamically

Posted by Community Admin on 11-Nov-2011 00:00

Hi,
I have created a custom field module for thumbnail selector in new module by using Telerik.Sitefinity.Samples.SimpleImageFieldElement, which i got from your forums. It is working fine. How can I retrive the custom fileds(Thumbnail) value in code behind. Please send me the sample as soon as possible. Thanks & Regards, Pravat Sharma

Hello Pravat,

To get/set the value of a custom field through, you can use out extension methods GetValue() and SetValue() (please add a reference to Telerik.Sitefinity.Model in your class). For example, you might check the implementetion from the code sample we provided in this forum thread.

Kind regards,
