  Can someone tell me what's the <viewSettings> entry to get the DownloadList Table Mode external template mapped?
  
  I cant seem to find it in the external template Config map...

  Hello Steve,
  
  You can map the control designer template for DownloadList control
  
  

  <viewSettings hostType="Telerik.Libraries.WebControls.Design.DownloadListDesigner" layoutTemplatePath="~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Libraries/DownloadListControlDesigner.ascx" />

  
  Then set the template from the Presentation mode settings
  
  

  <sf:PresentationMode ID="TableMode"

  runat="server"

  ModeTitle="Table"

  ModeSettingsId="ModeSettings2"

  MasterTemplatePath="~/SomePath/DownloadListTableMode.ascx"

  SelectedCssClass="selectedOption">

  
  The second option is using the Advanced tab of the DownloadList and map the template by using ItemListTemplatePath property.

  Hi Ivan,
  I notice when I do this, existing downloadList controls on the page are not affected by the newly mapped designer template.  Any new controls I add will have the customized template.  So I have to use your second option regardless, at least for existing controls.  Is there a way to force existing instance of the control to reload the designer mapping?
  
  Btw, thIs is on an upgrade to SF 3.7 SP4 from 3.2.
  
  Thanks,
  Mike

  Hello Mike,
  
  You need to remove/add the control on the page or open the control for editing, change the presentation mode then save the control, open it again and switch back to the desired presentation mode.
  It could be done programatically if you have many controls if the same type, by locating the control on the page and executing the same procedures as above.
