There are two property tabs for the Lists control - Basic and Advanced.

 

The Basic tab is a designer for the Lists control, as shown in Figure 3. It provides user-friendly way to display lists:

Setting the properties in the Basic tab is enough to make the Lists control work. The properties in the Advanced tab, however, provide advanced functionality for extending the control.

 

The Advanced tab contains sections with the properties of the Lists control as shown in Figure 4:

Following are some basic settings that need to be made to work with the Lists control:

  1. Misc section: ListsIds should contain the ID of the Lists to be displayed. They should be added by clicking the Select button and choosing which Lists should be added to the Lists control.
  2. Behavior section: Visible should be True
  3. Data section: ProviderName should contain the name of the provider; in this case - Sitefinity
