control. Works best with the following datatypes:
MS Access: Yes/No

SQL Server: TINYINT or
BIT field
MySQL: TINYINT
Oracle: NUMBER(1)
Image/File-
depending on field type this control allows to upload images and
files to the database (binary field) or to some directory on the
Web server (text field). ASPRunner.NET also makes it possible to
create thumbnails on the fly. If you want to do this then you
should select the appropriate checkbox and:
Binary field - choose thumbnail size and the field name in which
the thumbnail will be saved.
Text field - choose thumbnail size and thumbnail prefix.
For example, if the original image file's name is example.gif
and thumbnail file's name is th_example.gif correspondingly then
the thumbnail prefix should have the value of "th_".
Note: To work with thumbnails you need to have ASPJpeg component
installed on the Web server. Most Web hosting companies have this
component installed.
Lookup wizard - drop-down box with
list of values.
Readonly - use this
format for a field that should not be edited.
