    hi,
    I am not succeeding on implementing this example.
    http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/radoslavgeorgiev/posts/10-02-17/download_list_control_to_group_items_for_download_by_parent_library.aspx

    On the example pasted on the page, it's written
    public class CustomDownloadList: DownloadList
    whereas on the download file it's written
    public class CustomDownloadList: ContentView

    When I use the "public class CustomDownloadList: DownloadList", I can select which Library I want to display. Once I save it, all the download files are displayed in one and not sorted by Library.
    And when I use "public class CustomDownloadList: ContentView", I cannot select which Library I want to display, but all files are displayed per library.

    Am I doing something wrong here?

    Hello Rabindra,

    The example shows a class the inherits from DownloadList control. The DownloadList control itself inherits indirectly from ContentView.  You can find more information about class inheritance at



    Also the implementatin require that you should create a toolbox for the CustomDownloadList.

    public class CustomDownloadListToolboxItem : ToolboxItem
    {
     
        public CustomDownloadListToolboxItem()
            : base(typeof(CustomDownloadList))
        {
            base.DisplayName = "CustomDownloadList_DisplayName";
            base.Description = "DownloadList_Description";
             
        }
    }
