Custom Mergfield Properties

[Boris Rogge]

Dear Telerik,

I've created a custom merge field and it works fine. Now I d like to add an extra metadata property (e.g. a GUID in string rep.)
I've overwritten the CopyPropertiesFrom method to copy the extra property. It gets inserted into the xaml (when saved), however when doing a 'merge preview', the custom mergefield is copied (a new instance is created) without calling the CopyPropertiesFrom, instead it calls the CopyPropertiesFromCodeExpression method, where I cannot copy the extra meta data property.

So my question is how to create and fully implement extra properties in custom merge fields.

Kind regards

Please refer to this help article where you can find detailed explanation of how to create a custom field and add a property to it.

I hope this helps!
