Cannot create binding for Container_id

description

All other fields from the CommonPartRecord are bindable. This would be very useful when trying to filter items by their container.

Container_Id is a relationship, not a regular property, so it can't be bound. You need a custom filter for that. Do it, we'll integrate it in core.

IS there a bug when you try to do it ? Otherwise you might want to create a custom filter, maybe also using the Content Picker

In the screen cap of a fresh install which is the same on all other installs I have done, the only options for CommonPartRecord in the Binding options are: OwnerId, CreatedUtc, PublishedUtc, ModifiedUtc, and Id. Container_id is not being mapped as a bindable property. I do not understand well enough the inner workings of the projection module's use of reflection to identify why this single property is not an option.

This is for the purpose for creating a customized projection of contained items. I'm not sure how Content Picker will help me with that, and I have not had much success in using filters based on enumeration values (see: http://orchard.codeplex.com/workitem/18706). If I could at least specify the ContainerId it would fix a lot of not-so-successful work-arounds. :)

I'll give it a shot.

I've implemented this long time ago in my Helpful Libraries module: see the docs (http://helpfullibraries.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Contents%20Libraries&referringTitle=Documentation), look for "ContainedByFilter Projector filter".
